Discover the Joy of Nottoway!
It is indeed unfortunate that more of this mysterious, beautiful and powerful language did not survive until today. Though its speakers were never historically known to number more than a few hundred, it evidently bore an uncanny resemblance to Proto-Northern-Iroquoian, once spoken by ancestors of all the Iroquois tribes. Strangely too, the Nottoway forms seem much more readily memorable than those in many other languages - even including those of its closest known relatives.
