Loup is an extinct Algonquian language or possibly languages of colonial New England. Loup (Wolf) was a French colonial ethnographic term and usage was inconsistent. In modern literature it refers to two varieties Loup A and Loup B. Loup A which may be the language of the Nipmuck is principally attested from a word list recorded from refugees by the St. Francis mission to the Abenaki in Quebec.
