Everything about Wyandot Language totally explained
Wyandot is the
Iroquoian language traditionally spoken by the people known variously as
Wyandot, Wendat, or Huron. It was last spoken primarily in
Oklahoma and
Quebec. Wyandot no longer has any native speakers, but is being studied and promoted as a second language. Anthropologist
John Steckley was reported in 2007 as being the last speaker of Wyandot..
The Language is written with the Latin Alphabet, making use of two extra letters,
θ for /θ/, and
Ȣ for /u/.

Christmas hymn Huron Carol, written in 1643 by the missionary
Jean de Brébeuf, were originally written in Wyandot.
