Atikamekw (endonym: Atikamekw Nehiromowin, literally "Atikamekw native language") is a variety of the Algonquian language CreeШаблон:Citation needed and the language of the Atikamekw people of southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is spoken by nearly all the Atikamekw, and therefore it is among the indigenous languages least threatened with extinction, according to some studies.[1]

Atikamekw is a language belonging to the CreeMontagnaisNaskapi linguistic continuum, which is part of the Central branch of the Algonquian languages of the Algic family of languages. It is sometimes classified as a dialect of Cree.Шаблон:Citation needed

The Atikamekw reflex of Proto-Algonquian liquid ("L" sound) *l is Шаблон:IPA (spelled 'r'). The corresponding sound in other Cree dialects is Шаблон:IPA, Шаблон:IPA, Шаблон:IPA, or Шаблон:IPA (it is consistently one of these depending on the dialect). So, alternatively, it is also referred to as the "r-Dialect of Cree".Шаблон:Citation needed Another way in which Atikamekw is distinctive among dialects of Cree is in having many loanwords from the Anishinaabe language.
