Definition

  • Malecite–Passamaquoddy (also known as Maliseet–Passamaquoddy) is an endangered Algonquian language spoken by the Maliseet and Passamaquoddy peoples along both sides of the border between Maine in the United States and New Brunswick, Canada. The language consists of two major dialects: Malecite, which is mainly spoken in New Brunswick, and Passamaquoddy, spoken mostly in Maine. In both Canada and the U.S., most speakers are older adults. Only 1500 speakers of both dialects combined remain alive. Many younger people cannot speak the language, in particular, the Passamaquoddy dialect.
