This language family gets its name from that small Algonquin tribe, who are used as representative of the whole group.The Algonquin language is still spoken today thanks to concerted efforts by the tribe itself, supported by the Canadian government; it is very closely related to Ojibwe and Ottawa (two more Algonquian languages).A few words of the Algonquin language are:kaagaagiw (raven)andeg (crow)miziki or kiniw (eagle)okad (leg)odoon (mouth)onagocag (stars)nodin (windy)kiziz (sun)cigwatik (pine tree)wabos (rabbit)nokomis (grandmother)biibiins (baby)So, to answer your question, the Algonquin people spoke the Algonquin language; the Algonquian tribes spoke a huge number of related Algonquian languages.
