[Algonquiana] Prehistoric Language contact ?

[Danielle E. Cyr]

John and Arok,
Thanks for your quick reply. Researching phonetic similarities would be a
great start. I was rather thinking of lexical borrowings but your insight
widens my interest !

	Danielle/Arok: 
	Wendat has a well-developed system of dual pronominal prefixes as agents
(but not patients).  Presumably St. Lawrence Iroquoian did as well.  It
would be interesting to see whether some phonetic similarities appear
between Mi'kmaq/Maliseet dual forms and those that Wendat has.

	Hi Danielle,  
	I'm not aware of anything actually written with regard to this, but there
was some brief discussion at the recent Algonquian conference (or was it
online???) about the possible source or model for the introduction of the
dual as a category in Micmac (and Maliseet?).  Inuktitut could be one
source, but Iroquoian was perhaps (?) favoured suggesting some contact in
the (lower? south eastern?) Great Lakes area.  Others far more
knowledgeable about the Eastern languages, please feel free to shoot these
thoughts down as required.
