Mohegan-Montauk-Narragansett (also known as Pequot-Mohegan, Narrangansett, Montauk, Secatogue, Stockbridge, Shinnecock-Poosepatuck) is an extinct Algonquian language formerly spoken in part of what is now known as New England and Long Island.[1]
The earliest study of the language in English was by Roger Williams, founder of the Rhode Island colony, in his book A Key Into the Language of America (1643), largely a study of the Narragansett language.
As of 2010, the Shinnecock and Unkechaug nations of Long Island, New York, had begun work with the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Southampton Campus, to revive their languages, or dialects of the above.[2])
