The fate of the Native American languages of southeastern New England and eastern Long Island provides a case study in language obsolescence through shift, demonstrating that stages of language obsolescence documented in modern times also apply to this historical case, although specific factors varied among the different communities. The Algonquian languages of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and eastern Connecticut and Long Island are now extinct and generally not well documented, but the process of language attrition and death over time is reconstructed here through historical documents, and a profile is drawn of the moribund language community before the death of the last productive speaker of Mohegan-Pequot in 1908.
