  • Tuscarora, sometimes called Skarure(h/ʔ), is an Iroquoian language of the Tuscarora people, spoken in southern Ontario, Canada, and northwestern New York around Niagara Falls, in the United States. The original homeland of the Tuscarora was in eastern North Carolina, in and around the Goldsboro, Kinston, and Smithfield areas, and some, though few, still live in this region. The name Tuscarora (pronounced approximately "Tuh-skuh-roar-uh") comes from the tribe's name and means "hemp people," after the Indian hemp or milkweed that they use in many aspects of their society. "Skarureh" refers to the long shirt worn as part of the men's regalia, hence "long shirt people". Tuscarora is a living but severely endangered language. As of the mid-1970s, only about 52 people spoke the language on the Tuscarora Reservation and the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation . The Tuscarora School in Lewiston has striven to keep the language alive, teaching children from pre-kindergarten to sixth grade. Despite this, Ethnologue reports a total of only 11 to 13 speakers in the 1990s, all of whom are older adults. The Tuscarora language can appear complex to those unfamiliar with it, more in terms of the grammar than the sound system. Many ideas can be expressed in a single word, and most words involve several components that must be considered before speaking (or writing). It is written using mostly symbols from the Roman alphabet, with some variations, additions, and diacritics.
  • Tuscarora ist eine im US-Bundesstaat New York und der kanadischen Provinz Ontario gesprochene irokesische Sprache. Sie ist mit unter 10 Sprechern, die alle fortgeschrittenen Alters sind, beinahe ausgestorben. In der jüngeren Vergangenheit wurde jedoch ein language revitalisation programme gestartet, in dessen Rahmen Kinder die Sprache in der Schule lernen.
  • Le tuscarora est une langue iroquoienne du Nord parlée dans l'État de New York et en Ontario sur la réserve des Six-Nations. La langue est vraisemblablement maintenant disparue. En 1999, Blair N. Rudes n'identifiait qu'un ou deux locuteurs dont le tuscarora était la langue maternelle. Il ne reste aujourd'hui que des personnes ayant une connaissance limitée de la langue Le tuscarora était à l'origine parlé en Caroline. Les guerres avec les colons anglais pousse la tribu à fuir vers le Nord en 1722. Ils sont accueillis par les autres peuples iroquois au sein des Cinq-Nations, qui deviennent les Six-Nations.
