Anishininimowin language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anishininimowin (also known as Oji-Cree or Severn Ojibwa) is the language of the Oji-Cree First Nation of Ontario. Different sources may classify it as either a distinct language in its own right, or as a dialect of the Ojibwe language.

The Oji-Cree are a people of mixed Ojibwe and Cree descent, and their language represents a similar mixture of Ojibwe language and Cree language antecedents. Part of the Algonquian language family, Anishininimowin is written in Algonquian syllabics with a mixture of Eastern and Western Algonquian features. It is more closely related to Ojibwe morphologically, but its literary tradition is closer to Cree.

Anishininimowin was one of only six aboriginal languages in Canada to report an increase in use in the 2001 Canadian census over the 1996 census.[1]

The language's SIL code is OJS.
