Shinnecock, an Indigenous language of eastern Long Island, is related to other Algonquian language varieties of the eastern seaboard such as Mohegan and Pequot. Granted federal recognition in 2010 after 30 years of struggle, the Shinnecock Tribe today has a reservation in Southampton which is currently home to roughly 700 members. Beginning with just one primary source text in the language, a 17th century Bible translation by the pioneer translator Cockenoe, language activists are working to revive their long-extinct language. The reservation's Wuneechanunk Preschool is working to teach children Shinnecock songs and phrases.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!
