Bodéwadmimwen
Potawatomi
Algic > Algonquian (Central Algonquian, ojibwe-potawatomi)
O potawatomi (Bodéwadmimwen, “língua dos guardiões do fogo”) é uma língua algonquina central estreitamente aparentada com o ojíbua, mas que se distingue por uma síncope sistemática: as vogais breves átonas são suprimidas, produzindo densos grupos consonantais ausentes nas línguas anishinaabe irmãs. Está passando por uma revitalização ativa pelas comunidades Citizen, Prairie Band, Hannahville, Pokagon e Ilha Walpole.
