Eastern Abenaki was spoken by elders of the Penobscot tribe in eastern Maine until the 1990s. It is now considered extinct. Other dialects of Eastern Abenaki, such as Caniba and Aroosagunticook, now extinct, are documented in French-language materials from the colonial period. Western and Eastern Abenaki share many similarities, but they are also different in striking ways. They differ not only in vocabulary but also phonology. |
