          • Description : The Narragansett language, is an extinct language, once spoken by the Narragansetts, quite similar to Massachusett. Narragansett was understood throughout New England (USA). Scholars refer to Massachusett and Narragansett as dialects of the same language. Narragansett was partially recorded by Roger Williams and published in his book A Key into the Language of America in 1643. Williams was writing a book so that the English who came here would have a phrase book to use in communicating with the local people. His book seems to give some of the actual speech patterns of the Narragansetts (and the Wampanoag).
