Laurentian is an extinct Iroquoian language of Canada,
once spoken along the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Actually there were originally more than one Laurentian language,
but due to scanty records it is impossible to tell whether they were mutually comprehensible dialects or a group of related
but distinct languages. The Laurentian people had been dispersed by the early 17th century,
and the only remnants of the language surviving today are vocabularies noted by French explorers in the 1500's.
