  • Etchemin was a language of the Algonquian language family, spoken in early colonial times on the coast of Maine. The word Etchemin is a French alteration of an Algonquian word for canoe. The only known record of the Etchemin language is a list of the numbers from one to ten taken down by Marc Lescarbot in the early 17th century and published in his book the History of New France. The numerals in the list match those of Malecite-Passamaquoddy, Eastern Abenaki as well as languages of southern New England such as Wampanoag, but as a set do not match any other Algonquian language. The Etchemin language disappeared not long after Lescarbot's visit, and it is unknown what became of the tribe. All other language records called 'Etchemin' appear actually to be the neighboring Malecite-Passamaquoddy language.
