The Algonkin or Algonquin are a single tribe living along the Ottawa River valley in Canada. They speak Algonquin, or more accurately Anishinàbemowin or Omàmiwininìmowin("speech of the downstream people").

The Algonquian language family includes a huge number of distantly related languages, which include (among many others):

  • Atsena
  • Arapaho
  • Cheyenne
  • Suhtaio
  • Blackfoot, Piegan and Blood
  • Abenaki and Penobscot
  • Maliseet
  • Mi'kmaq
  • Delaware
  • Nanticoke
  • Mohegan
  • Mahican
  • Narragansett
  • Wampanoag
  • Massachusett
  • Cree
  • Ojibwe/Chippewa
  • Montagnais
  • Naskapi
  • Algonquin
  • Menominee
  • Sac and Fox
  • Miami
  • Illinois
  • Shawnee
  • Powhatan

This list is far from complete.
