Mohawk Dutch is a now extinct Dutch-based creole language mainly spoken during the 17th century west of Albany New York in the area around the Mohawk River by the Dutch colonists who traded with or to a lesser extent mixed with the local population from the Mohawk nation. At the height of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands’s North American colony of New Netherland there were 18 languages spoken within Dutch-controlled territory.
