Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Mohegan/Pequot

We have included twenty basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing") the way English and French do.

If you would like to know a Mohegan word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our Indian translations fundraiser, buy a Mohegan dictionary, or visit our main Mohegan language site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
