Ojibwe (or Ojibwa, Ojibway, or Chippewa), also called Anishinaabemowin, is an indigenous language of the Algonquian language
family. Ojibwe is characterized by a series of dialects that have local names and frequently local (non-indigenous) writing
systems. There is no single dialect that is considered the most prestigious or most prominent, and no standard writing system
that covers all dialects. The relative autonomy of the regional dialects of Ojibwe is associated with an absence of linguistic
or political unity among Ojibwe-speaking groups. The dialects of Ojibwe are spoken in Canada from southwestern Quebec, through
Ontario, Manitoba and parts of Saskatchewan, with outlying communities in Alberta, and in the United States from Michigan
through Wisconsin and Minnesota, with a number of communities in North Dakota and Montana, as well as migrant groups in Kansas
and Oklahoma. The aggregated dialects of Ojibwe comprise the second most commonly spoken First Nations language in Canada,
and the fourth most widely spoken in the United States or Canada behind Navajo, Inuit and Cree. |
