Mohawk is an Iroquoian language with about
3,350 speakers, most of whom are elderly, though there are younger speakers in
some areas. There are six Mohawk-speaking communities: Tyendinaga, Wáhta, and
Ohswé:ken in Ontario; Kahnawà:ke and Kanehsatà:ke in Quebec, and Ahkwesáhsne in
Quebec, Ontario and New York State.
The native name for the Mohawk language, Kanien'keha, means 'people of the
flint'. The term Mohawk comes from a name meaning 'man-eaters' used by their
Algonquian enemies.
Mohawk was first written by French missionaries in the early 18th. They devised
a spelling system based on French pronunciation and used it to produce Mohawk
translations of various religious and legal documents.
Mohawk has been taught in schools since 1970, and in 1972, a group of educators,
translators and Elders developed an orthography for the language. Several other
spelling systems have been used for Mohawk.
A standard form of written Mohawk was agreed on at the Mohawk Language
Standardization Conference, held in August 1993 at Tyendinaga.
