Wampano, the r-dialect Algonquian language spoken by the indigenous inhabitants of western Connecticut and central Long Island, has been extinct since the early twentieth century. It is known today through short vocabularies recorded over the centuries and one long text dating from the mid- seventeenth century. This language, variously known by local designations (e.g., Naugatuck, Quiripi, and Unquachog), exhibits the typical characteristics of southern New England Algonquian languages, including the Eastern Algonquian intrusive nasal (i.e., a nasal vowel reflex of Proto-Algonquian. a,.). How ever, it also shares certain features with northern New England Algonquian languages such as a distinctive syncope of short vowels before inherited consonant clusters. The extant data permit a fairly complete reconstitution of the phonology of the language, which is a necessary preliminary to morphological analysis.
