Other comments: Powhatan or Virginia Algonquian was an Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian languages. It was formerly spoken by the Powhatan people of tidewater Virginia. Following 1970s linguistic research by Frank Thomas Siebert, Jr., some of the language has been reconstructed with assistance from better-documented Algonquian languages, and attempts are being made to revive it. The sole documentary evidence for this language is two short wordlists recorded around the time of first European contact. William Strachey recorded about 500 words and Captain John Smith recorded only about 50 words. Smith also reported the existence of a pidgin form of Powhatan, but virtually nothing is known of it.
Strachey's material was collected
sometime between 1610 and 1611, and probably written up from his notes
in 1612 and 1613, after he had returned to England. It was never
published in his lifetime, although he made a second copy in 1618. The
second copy was published in 1849, and the first in 1955. |
