Linguae Algicae

Linguae Algicae, etiam Algonquian–Wiyot–Yurok et Algonquian–Ritwan appellatae, sunt familia vernacularum Americae Septentrionalis linguarum. Plurimae linguae Algicae ad familiam linguarum Algonquianarum pertinent, trans regionem latam a Montibus Saxosis ad Canadam Atlanticam dispersae. Aliae linguae Algicae sunt Yurok et Wiyot Californiae boreoccidentalis, quae, contra propinquitatem geographicam, arte cognatae non sunt. Hae linguae omnes a Protoalgica deduci putantur, protolingua alterius ordinis, per Protoalgonquianam reconstitutam cum Wiyot et Yurok linguis attestatis reconstituta.

Historia
Nomen Algic ab Henrico Rowe Schoolcraft in Algic Researches (1839) factum est. Schoolcraft nomen "ab Alleghany et Atlantic deduci" dixit, verba Anglica, quae "ad genus Indorum antiquitus in hac regione geographica conlocatum spectat."Schoolcraft 1839:12. Nomen autem Schoolcraftianum non retentum est, quoniam populi quos Algicos appellavit ad postremum inter locutores linguarum Algonquianarum positi sunt. Eduardus Sapir, cum bene institutam familiam Algonquaianam genetice cognatam esse cum linguis Wiyot et Yurok Californiae septentrionalis proponeret, nomen Algicum huic familiae maiori adhibuit. Prisca patria Algica in Boreoccidente Americano conlocata fuisse putatur, alicubi inter opinabilem rami Algonquiani patriam (ad occidentem Lacus Superioris iacentem, apud GoddardGoddard 1994:207.) et primum Wiyot et Yurok situm notum (secundum medium Flumen Columbianum, apud WhistlerMoratto 1984:540, 546, 564.).

Classificatio Algicae
Plurimae linguae Algicae iam in usu commune sunt periclitatae. Inter exstinctas linguas Algicas sunt Wiyot, Miami-Illinoesia, Etchemin, Loup A, Loup B, Mahican, Massachusett, Mohegan-Pequot, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Pamlico, dialectos Penobscot linguae Abnaki, Powhatan, Quiripi-Naugatuck, Unami, Unquachog, et Shinnecock. Nonnullae ex linguis exstinctis, sicut Yurok, Miami-Illinoesia, et Massachusett, variis prosperitatis gradibus revirescuntur.Lee Romney "Revival of nearly extinct Yurok language is a success story," The Los Angeles Times, 6 Februarii 2013.Wesley Y.

Intra subfamiliam Algonquianam est minor linguarum Algonquianarum Orientalium grex. Aliae (non Orientales) linguae Algonquianae aliquando in duos greges minores digestae sunt: Algonquiana Media et Algonquiana Planitierum; hi autem subgreges coniunctionibus geneticis non innituntur, sed potius sunt greges geographiá vel regione definiti. (Vide Linguae Algonquianae.)

Genetica Wiyot et Yurok coniunctio cum Algonquiana, primum ab Eduardo Sapir (1913, 1915, 1923) proposita, ab Algonquianista Truman Michelson disputata est (1914, 1915, 1935). Coniunctio autem
"postea voluptati omnium confirmata est."Anglice: "has subsequently been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all."Campbell 1997:152, qui citat Haas 1958. Haec controversia in prima linguarum Americae Septentrionalis classificatione controversia Ritwan appellabatur quia Wiyot et Yurok in gregem geneticum Ritwan appellatum tum digerebantur. Plurimi eruditi nunc gravitatem nodi genetici Ritwan repudiant.Campbell 1997:152; Mithun 1999:337. Berman (1982) subiecit Wiyot et Yurok inter se mutationes sonorum partire quibus aliae linguae carent; Proulx autem (2004) notionem communium sonorum mutationum reiecit.
