Yaacov: I'm getting rusty. I know the Algonquin was the most widespread of the language groups but in its outer limits - geographically speaking - specific sub-languages became more distinctive. Plains people spoke differently from east coast Iroquoian peoples.

I am not a linguist but once had occasion to consult cultural centres up and down Canada and learned that there are an amazing number of radically different language groups - as different as Chinese is from English in the regions where there were previosly insurmountable natural barriers such as mountains and forests. I think I was told that there were 52 such groups in the north eastern regions of Canada/Alaska alone.

There! You expert linguists can spend some time translating the above special and very important message written in a very ancient language. If nothing else it should keep you clowns busy for a few hundred years - at least long enough to stop you from posting. LOL :-)
