No. The English spoke English, and the Native Americans spoke various languages native to North America.
There is no such thing as the Algonquian tribe. The term Algonquian applies to a very large family of distantly-related languages spoken by tribes across the entire North American continent. So, for example, the Arapaho (who spoke an Algonquian language) lived on the Great Plains and lived entirely different lifestyles to the Powhatan (another Algonquian-speaking group) who lived in the tidewater areas of Virginia.
The Ossipee and Pequawket bands of Abenaki occupied most of the area that became New Hampshire, with the Pennacook people in the southern portion. These two tribes spoke dialects of the same Algonquian language and were allies.
The Manhattan spoke an Algonquian language - part of a very large language family. They probably spoke a language related to Wappinger, or a Lenape (Delaware) dialect. These two are very closely related languages.
