The term Naskapi is not really appropriate when talking about language as it assumes a very close linguistic relationship between Kawawachikamach (Western, or Koksoak) and Natuashish (Eastern, Mushuau Innu, or Davis Inlet dialect) which doesn’t exist. Kawawachikamach Naskapi is a y-dialect and dialectically belongs with East Cree, except that its orthography is significantly different. * Long vowels: /i/, /a/, /o/ * Short vowels: /ɪ~ə/, /ʌ~ə/, /o~ʊ~u/ |
