Brief Description:
"Woccon was one of the two languages in the Catawban branch of the Siouan-Catawba family. It was spoken in the early eighteenth century in eastern North Carolina, and is attested only in a vocabulary of 143 words that was printed in 1709. The relationship between Woccon and Catawba (proper) is not close." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg 25
