Piscataway is an extinct Algonquian language formerly spoken on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, in present-day Maryland, United States. According to the The Languages of Native North America, Piscataway, also known as Conoy (from the Iroquois name for the tribe), was a dialect of Nanticoke. This designation is based on the scant available evidence of both languages.

  • Piscataway is an extinct Algonquian language formerly spoken on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, in present-day Maryland, United States. According to the The Languages of Native North America, Piscataway, also known as Conoy (from the Iroquois name for the tribe), was a dialect of Nanticoke. This designation is based on the scant available evidence of both languages. It is related to the group of Delaware languages, and more closely to Powhatan, which was once spoken in the region of present-day Virginia. Among the three divisions of the Algonquian family—Central, Plains, and Eastern—Eastern Algonquian is the least well documented.
