Brief Description:
"Susquehannock was a Northern Iroquoian language, spoken in the seventeenth and eighteenth century along the Susquehanna River in southeastern Pennsylvania and northeastern Maryland. It is known only from a list of about 80 words appended to a Delaware catechism compiled by a Swedish Lutheran missionary in 1696." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 23
