What are "Algic languages"?

Algic languages are a family of Indigenous languages primarily spoken in North America, divided into two main branches: Algonquian and Wakashan. Algonquian languages include well-known languages such as Ojibwe, Cree, and Algonquin, while Wakashan languages include Kwak'wala and Nuu-chah-nulth. These languages are characterized by complex verb morphology, rich systems of noun classification, and a variety of phonetic features. Algic languages hold significant cultural and historical importance for the Indigenous peoples who speak them, reflecting their traditions, social structures, and histories. The study of Algic languages offers valuable insights into the linguistic diversity of North America and the cultural heritage of the communities associated with these languages.
