Quiripi (pronounced ,〔Salwen (1978:175)〕 also known as Quiripi-Unquachog, Quiripi-Naugatuck, and Wampano) was an Algonquian language formerly spoken by the indigenous people of southwestern Connecticut and central Long Island,〔Rudes (1997:1)〕〔Goddard (1978:72)〕 including the Quinnipiac, Naugatuck, Unquachog, Mattabesic, Potatuck, Weantinock, and Paugussett. It has been effectively extinct since the end of the 18th century,〔Goddard (1978:71)〕 although Frank T. Siebert, Jr., was able to record a few Unquachog words from an elderly woman in 1932.〔Rudes (1997:5)〕 ==Affiliation and dialects== Eastern Algonquian branch of the Algonquian language family.〔Goddard (1978)〕〔Mithun (1999:327)〕 It shared a number of linguistic features with the other Algonquian languages of southern New England, such as Massachusett and Mohegan-Pequot, including the shifting of Proto-Eastern Algonquian * and * to and , respectively, and the palatalization of earlier * before certain front vowels.〔Goddard (1978:75)〕〔Rudes (1997:27)〕 There appear to have been two major dialects of Quiripi: an "insular" dialect spoken on Long Island by the Unquachog and a "mainland" dialect spoken by the other groups in Connecticut, principally the Quinnipiac.〔Rudes (1997:6-7)〕〔Costa (2007:116, 119)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quiripi language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
