Name: Loup B Type: Language Alternate Name: Loup Code: xlb Code Standard: ISO 639-3 Documentation: LINGUIST List Families: Algic (Algonquian-Wiyot-Yurok, Algonquian-Ritwan) Parent Subgroup: Eastern Algonquian; Common Eastern Algonquian (ealg) Brief Description: "Loup was an Algonquian language of the Southern New England group, spoken in central Massachusetts and parts of northern Connecticut. It is mainly attested by a list of words and sentences recorded from refugees among the Abenakis at the St. Francis mission in Quebec, where their descendants became speakers of Western Abenaki in the course of the eighteenth century. A second source, sometimes distinguished as 'Loup B,' shows extensive dialectal variation and may simply be notes on the speech of New England Algonquian refugees in French missions, rather than a record of a separate language."
