The main language was called michif. it was made so that both the french and aboriginal people in the settlement could understand each other. It is basically made up of French words with Cree pronunciations.

if you know basic French, this should give you an idea:

Sun: Solay

Dog: Shy'aen

Mouse: Sore (pronounced SOR-ee)

etc.

The main language of the Métis people is Michif, which is a mixed language combining elements of Cree and French. Michif developed as a language of trade and communication between French fur traders and Cree-speaking Indigenous peoples in the Canadian Prairies.
