- Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of languages by documenting and sharing linguistic knowledge, thus ensuring that these languages and their cultural heritage are not lost to future generations.
Special Thanks to Tim Cardinal :D

Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Plains Cree language.
Cree is part of the Algonquian language family, the largest First Nations linguistic group in Canada, with 45,000 to 60,000 speakers. There are five main dialects: Western/Plains Cree, Northern/Woodlands Cree, Central/Swampy Cree, Moose Cree, and Eastern Cree. While these dialects share similarities, mutual intelligibility is not guaranteed. A 12-sign syllabary for the Cree language was created in 1841 by Wesleyan missionary James Evans. With many children being raised bilingual in Cree and English or French, Cree has a strong chance of survival among native languages, leading to one of the highest literacy rates globally.
The Cree traditionally occupied a large area from James Bay to Lake Winnipeg and south to Lake Nipigon. Pushed westward by the fur trade, they eventually reached Saskatchewan. They lived in dome-shaped wigwams made of green saplings in woodland areas and conical tipis covered with animal skins on the plains. In winter, they often used sod houses. Their environment was harsh, with cold winters and hot, mosquito-infested summers, leading to a diet primarily based on hunting due to limited plant food. The Cree feared the Windigo spirit, which was associated with cannibalism during starvation. The Plains Cree focused on bison hunting and gathering wild plants. During the hunting season, Cree traveled in small bands, and in summer, they formed larger communities for fishing. Their hunting practices were influenced by their religion, which required showing respect to the animals they hunted.

Some of my ancestors spoke this.....well the Swampy dialect to be exact 👀
God bless your people❤❤❤
awesome language, hope it doesn't die
Cree is very similar to my own Wolastoqey language spoken in maritime Canada, the numbers especially. One day, I hope to see Wolastoqey on this channel and maybe even one of those comparison videos with Wolastoqey and Cree. Both languages are algic.
Do you speak Wolastoqey? :) would you like to volunteer. :)
@ilovelanguages0124 I do to a certain degree, I've been learning Wolastoqey since 2019, and I can communicate at a basic level and read and write at an L1 intermediate level I would say. I'm definitely not a fluent speaker, but I know pretty much all of the essential vocabulary for day to day life. I'd definitely love to volunteer! I wanna get my language out there to as many people as possible!

I will never understand why some people downvote videos like this. This is extremely informative and interesting stuff, presented in a good-spirited and likable way. The whole channel is a gem.
One of the most unique alphabets in the world! May the Cree keep it the way it is! 🫡
The Eskimos use it as well 👀
As do the Blackfoot

Hope you will have a volunteer for Cheyenne, Fox, and Shawnee.
I have a Cheyenne volunteer. I hope someone will volunteer for Fox and Shawnee. :)
1:25 I think you have a mistake. The picture in the bottom left corner is more likely from 1883, not 1983.
A missionary seems to have created the script. Interesting
Please please please do Huron Wendat language
Great!

Jin Chinese, please
Is it related to other languages?
Yes, it’s an Algonquian language. Algonquian languages are very widespread in the US and Canada. It’s related to Shawnee, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Blackfoot (Siksika), and a bunch of other North American languages
awawaw

It's not Native American. It's First Nations.
