Piscataway is an extinct Algonquian language formerly spoken by the Piscataway, a dominant chiefdom on the Western Shore of
Chesapeake Bay, in present-day Maryland, United States. Piscataway, also known as Conoy, is considered a dialect of Nanticoke.
This designation is based on the scant evidence available for the Piscataway language. The Doeg tribe, then located in present-day
Northern Virginia, are also thought to have spoken a form of the same language. These dialects were intermediate between the
Native American groups of Lenape languages formerly spoken to the north of this area and the Powhatan language, formerly spoken
to the south, in what is now Tidewater Virginia. |
