Abstract
Malecite is one of the Algonquian langs; discussed here are the fates of
English words adopted into Malecite. In examining the phonetics of these
loanwords, it can be seen that older English loanwords have usually been
remodeled so that their phonological shape conforms to the Malecite system.
However, there are also recent loanwords in which phonetic peculiarities of
Malecite are no longer dominant. There are three sections in the
paper: "Vowels," "Consonants," & "Later Loans." A few examples are
included: /kinhcem(schwa)hs/ 'king' from King James, /payis/ 'pie', /sok
(star)/ 'sugar', & /nospehpol/ 'newspaper'.
