Malecite–Passamaquoddy (also known as Maliseet–Passamaquoddy) is an endangered Algonquian language spoken by the Maliseet and Passamaquoddy peoples along both sides of the border between Maine in the United States and New Brunswick Canada. The language consists of two major dialects: Malecite which is mainly spoken in the St. John River Valley near New Brunswick; and Passamaquoddy spoken mostly in the St. Croix River Valley of eastern Maine.
