Quiripi (pronounced /ˈkwɪrɨpiː/ also known as Quiripi-Unquachog Quiripi-Naugatuck and Wampano) was an Algonquian language formerly spoken by the indigenous people of southwestern Connecticut and central Long Island including the Quinnipiac Naugatuck Unquachog Mattabesic Potatuck Weantinock and Paugussett. It has been effectively extinct since the end of the 18th century although Frank T. Siebert Jr. was able to record a few Unquachog words from an elderly woman in 1932.
