  • Menominee /mɪˈnɒmɪniː/, also spelled Menomini (In Menominee Language: omǣqnomenēweqnæsewen) is an endangered Algonquian language spoken by the historic Menominee people of what is now northern Wisconsin in the United States. The federally recognized tribe has been working to encourage revival of use of the language by intensive classes locally and partnerships with universities. Most of the fluent speakers are elderly. Many of the people use English as their first language. The name of the tribe, and the language, derived from Oma͞eqnomenew, comes from the word for wild rice. The tribe has gathered and cultivated this native food as a staple for millennia. The Ojibwa, their neighbors to the north who are one of the Anishinaabe peoples and also speak an Algonquian language, also use this term for them. The main characteristics of Menominee, as compared to other Algonquian languages, are its extensive use of the low front vowel /æ/, its rich negation morphology, and its lexicon. Some scholars (notably Bloomfield and Sapir) have classified it as a Central Algonquian language based on its phonology. For good sources of information on both the Menominee and their language include Leonard Bloomfield's 1928 bilingual text collection, his 1962 grammar (a landmark in its own right), and Skinner's earlier anthropological work.

  • Menominee /mᵻˈnɒmᵻniː/ (também escrita como Menomini) é uma língua Algonquina falada originalmente pelo povo do norte de Wisconsin e Michigan. É ainda falada nas terras da nação Menominee do norte de Wisconsin, Estados Unidos. O nome dado à tribo e à língua, Omāēqnomenew, vem da palavra para o arroz zizania que foi base da alimentação da etnia por milênios. Essa designação (como Omanoominii se estende também aos nativos Anishinaabe Ojibwa, vizinhos algonquinos do norte. As principais características do Menominee, em comparação com outras línguas Algonquinas, são o extenso uso da vogal frontal / æ /, seu léxico e rica forma morfológica de negação. Alguns estudiosos (como Leonard Bloomfield Bloomfield e Edward Sapir Sapir) classificaram-na como uma língua Algonquina Central baseada na sua fonologia. Para se obterem boas fontes de informação tanto sobre os Menominees como sobre a língua, alguns recursos valiosos incluem a coleção de textos bilíngües de 1928, um gramática de 1962 e o trabalho antropológico anterior de Skinner.
