The Monongahela River (〔There are several ways to pronounce this word that are acceptable. From "Geographical Names" of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (2009): , or .〕) — often referred to locally as the Mon — is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed August 15, 2011〕 river on the Allegheny Plateau in north-central West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania. The Monongahela joins the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River at Pittsburgh.
==Etymology==
The Native American word ''Monongahela'' means "falling banks", in reference to the geological instability of the river's banks. Moravian missionary David Zeisberger (1721–1808) gave this account of the naming: "In the Indian tongue the name of this river was Mechmenawungihilla (alternatively spelled Menawngihella), which signifies a high bank, which is ever washed out and therefore collapses."〔Zeisberger, David, ''David Zeisberger's History of the Northern American Indians in 18th Century Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania'', pg 43; Wennawoods Publishing, 1999, ISBN 1-889037-17-6〕
The Lenape Language Project renders the word as ''Mënaonkihëla'' (pronounced ), translated "where banks cave in or erode",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lenape Talking Dictionary )〕 from the verbs ''mënaonkihële'' "the dirt caves off" (such as the bank of a river or creek, or in a landslide)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lenape Talking Dictionary )〕 and ''mënaonke'' (pronounced ), "it has a loose bank" (where one might fall in).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lenape Talking Dictionary )
Monongalia County and the town of Monongah, both in West Virginia, are named for the river, as is Monongahela in Pennsylvania. (The name "Monongalia" is either a Latinized adaptation of "Monongahela" or simply a variant spelling.)
