About: Unami language

An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Unami (Delaware: Wënami èlixsuwakàn) was an Algonquian language spoken by the Lenape people in the late 17th century and the early 18th century, in what then was (or later became) the southern two-thirds of New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania and the northern two-thirds of Delaware, but later in Ontario and Oklahoma. It is one of the two Delaware languages, the other being Munsee. The last fluent speaker in the United States, Edward Thompson, of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, died on August 31, 2002. His sister Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984) provided valuable information about the language to linguists and other scholars.

  • L'unami (ou lenape, lenni-lenape) est une langue algonquienne éteinte, appartenant aux langues delaware au même titre que le munsee. Elle fut parlée par le peuple amérindien lenapes dans les régions aujourd'hui appelées New Jersey, Pennsylvanie et – plus tard – Oklahoma. Ses locuteurs ont par la suite adopté l'anglais. Néanmoins, en 2000, il y a 310 personnes qui la parlent plus ou moins couramment comme langue secondaire chez elles. (fr)
  • La lingua unami è uno dei due sottolinguaggi della Lingua delaware. Appartenente alla famiglia delle lingue algonchine era parlata dai nativi americani di etnia Lenape (o Delaware), stanziati nella regione dell'attuale New York e zone limitrofe, aveva acquisito alcune parole dall' olandese parlata dai primi europei insediatisi alla foce del fiume Hudson. La lingua si è estinta alla fine del XIX secolo, e i suoi locutori hanno in seguito adottato l' inglese. (it)
  • Unami (Delaware: Wënami èlixsuwakàn) was an Algonquian language spoken by the Lenape people in the late 17th century and the early 18th century, in what then was (or later became) the southern two-thirds of New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania and the northern two-thirds of Delaware, but later in Ontario and Oklahoma.

His sister Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984) provided valuable information about the language to linguists and other scholars. "Lenni-Lenape," literally means "Men of Men", but is translated to mean "Original People." The Lenape names for the areas they inhabited were Scheyichbi (i.e. New Jersey), which means "water's edge", and Lenapehoking, meaning "in the land of the Delaware Indians." It describes the ancient homeland of all Delaware Indians, both Unami and Munsee. The English named the river running through much of the traditional range of the Lenape after the first governor of the Jamestown Colony, Lord De La Warr, and consequently referred to the people who lived around the river as "Delaware Indians".
