‘’‘Mohawk’’’ – known to itself as ‘‘Kanienʼkéha’’ – is spoken by the Mohawk nation along the Saint Lawrence and New York valleys. Sound starts with K, ends with A: no B, no F. Vulnerability: orange bar, EGIDS six-a. Most elders talk it, kids catch bits, but school and phones still speak English. Notable speakers: Joseph Brant – fought for Britain, thought in Mohawk first. Kateri Tekakwitha – saint, prayed in it. Tarbell family – today’s activists, still say bed-time stories right.
