Tuscarora

Tuscarora (Tuscarora: Skarù·ręʔkyéhaʔ or Neyękwawętaʔθkwáhshek) is the Iroquoian language of the Tuscarora people, spoken in southern Ontario in Canada, as well as North Carolina and northwestern New York around Niagara Falls in the United States, before becoming dormant in 2018. The historic homeland of the Tuscarora was in eastern North Carolina, in and around the Goldsboro, Kinston, and Smithfield areas.

The language can appear complex to those unfamiliar with it more in terms of its grammar than its sound system. Many ideas can be expressed in a single word. Most words involve several components that must be considered. The language is mostly written using symbols from the Roman alphabet, with some variations, additions, and diacritics.
