The Massachusett language is an Algonquian language of the Algic language family formerly spoken by several tribes inhabiting coastal regions of Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands. It was also commonly referred to as the Natic Wômpanâak (Wampanoag) Pokanoket or Indian language. The language was used by John Eliot to print the first Bible in the Americas in 1663.
