Do Wampanoag still speak their traditional language?
Yes, some do and others are learning to do so. By the mid 1800s the Wampanoag language was spoken by very few people it was a dying language. In the 20th century, Wampanoag scholars began to recover their language. To do this they used documents including a bible that had been translated into Wampanoag, by Wampanoag people in the 1650s. Today many Wampanoag people are taking classes and learning to speak their original language.
