That all depends on which aboriginal language you want to say thank you in.
What does Ojibwe Megwiich mean?
That word is seen with several different spellings: miigwech, migwetch, megwitch and megwich are just a few. The final vowel is short, so it can not be ii.All mean "thank you" [the literal meaning is "it is too much"], while apijigo megwich means "thank you very much".A real Ojibwe would be much more likely to showappreciation rather than say it, so phrases like this were originally not much used.
How do you say thank you in Algonquin?
All native Americans historically preferred to show appreciation, regret, agreement and so on, rather than saying the words.In Ojibwe/Chippewa/Ojibwa/Anishinaabemowin the word miigwetch or migwetch (with a long or short first vowel) is used more today than it was traditionally, as a result of white influence.Miigwetch means "it is too much" and is used for "thanks".An alternative is ni-mamooyawendam (I am thankful).
How did the Algonquin comunicate What are some of the simple words?
It seems that most people are very confused about the meaning of the name "Algonquin", which refers only to a small tribe located along the Ottawa river valley in Canada.The similar word "Algonquian" refers to a very large language family of many tribes from the Blackfoot confederacy, Cheyenne and Arapahos of the Plains to the Sauk, Fox, Miami, and Kickapoo of the Mid West and the Powhatan, Wampanoag, Delaware, Mi'kmaq, Mahican, Mohegan and many, many more along the east coast.All these tribes spoke languages that are very distantly related, perhaps all of them evolved from a very ancient single language known as proto-Algonquian, some of which can be reconstructed today using a kind of "reverse development".Since you specifically mention the language of the Algonquin tribe (also called Algonkin), here are a few simple words:amik......................beavermahigan................wolfmakwa..................bearmonz....................moosewaboz...................rabbitwàwàckèci............deer (you say wah-wah-shkay-shee)pejig.....................onenij.........................twoniswi.....................threeinini.......................manikwe......................womannibi........................waterwaba.....................whitemiskwa..................redmakadewa.............blackmikiziw..................eaglenizid......................footninidji....................handninidjins................fingernindon..................mouthnishkinjig..............eyeskwe kwe...............hellokimiwan................it's rainingkitchi kisina...........it's very coldkitchi kijide............it's very hotnigwakwan...........it's cloudykizhate..................it's sunnyawanen dash kin..who are you?awanen iwitch......who is it?ki madja na...........are you leaving?migwetch...............thank youThe link below takes you to a page about the Algonquin language, with sound files recorded by native speakers:
