Carolina Algonquian language
Carolina Algonquian (also known as Pamlico) is an extinct Algonquian language of the Eastern Algonquian subgroup formerly spoken in North Carolina, United States.〔Raymond G. Gordon, Jr, ed. 2005. ''Ethnologue: Languages of the World''. 15th edition. Dallas: Summer Institute of Linguistics.〕
==Translation into English==
In 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh had despatched the first of a number of expeditions to Roanoke Island to explore and eventually settle the New World. Early encounters with the natives were friendly, and, despite the difficulties in communication, the explorers were able to persuade "two of the savages, being lustie men, whose names were Wanchese and Manteo" to accompany them on the return voyage to London,〔Milton, p.63〕 in order for the English people to report both the conditions of the New World that they had explored and what the usefulness of the territory might be to the English〔Mancall, Peter C. ''Hakluyt’s Promise: An Elizabethan's Obsession for an English America''. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2007. 159.〕〔Vaughan, Alden T. "Sir Walter Raleigh's Indian Interpreters, 1584-1618." The William and Mary Quarterly 59.2 (2002): 346-347.〕
Once safely delivered to England, the two Indians quickly made a sensation at court. Raleigh's priority however was not publicity but rather intelligence about his new land of Virginia, and he restricted access to the exotic newcomers, assigning the brilliant scientist Thomas Harriot with the job of deciphering and learning the Carolina Algonquian language.,〔Milton, p.70〕 using a phonetic alphabet of his own invention in order to effect the translation.
