Algonquin/Nipissing ethnonyms[edit]
(From ALgonqin section of Ojib dialects The Nipissing dialect term omàmìwininì 'downriver people' refers to Algonquin speakers,[1][2] with the term for the language being omàmìwininìmowin in addition to anicinàbemowin (or orthographic equivalent anishininàbemowin. (?citation for latter, check Cuoq). The general Algonquin self-designation is Anishinàbe.[3]
From Nipissing section
The term odishkwaagamii 'those at the end of the lake'and is also cited for Southwestern Ojibwe;[4] other sources ranging from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries cite the same form for several different Ojibwe dialects, including Ottawa.[5]
- Master version
The term odishkwaagamii 'those at the end of the lake' (with Odishkwaagamiimowin for the name of the language) is used by speakers of non-Alqonquin dialects of Ojibwe to refer to speakers of Algonquin,[6] and is cited for Southwestern Ojibwe with the meaning 'Algonquin Indian'[7] as well as in the material collected at the eastern end of Lake Superior in the nineteenth century,[8] and other sources for several Ojibwe dialects, ranging from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries including Ottawa.[9]
It is also attributed to Algonquin speakers as a term for Nipissing dialect speakers[10][11]
However, though the speakers call themselves Anicinàbe ("Anishinaabe") like the Ojibwe, the speakers of this language are not identified as "Ojibwe" and are called Odishkwaagamii (those at the end of the lake) by the Ojibwe. Among the Algonquins, however, the Nipissing are called Otickwàgamì (the Algonquin orthography for the Ojibwe Odishkwaagamii) and their language as Otickwàgamìmowin while the rest of the Algonquin communities call themselves Omàmiwininiwak (down-stream men), and the language as Omàmiwininìmowin (speech of the down-stream men).
