Narragansett /ˌnærəˈɡænsɪt/[1] is an Algonquian language formerly spoken in most of what is today Rhode Island by the Narragansett people.[2] It was closely related to the other Algonquian languages of southern New England like Massachusett and Mohegan-Pequot. The earliest study of the language in English was by Roger Williams, founder of the Rhode Island colony, in his book A Key Into the Language of America (1643).
