Mi’kmaq New Testament
About Mi’kmaq
Mi’kmaq is an Eastern Algonquian language, spoken by the Mi’kmaq First Nations people indigenous to Canada’s Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, with some dialects extending into Maine in the U.S. The nation has a population of about 40,000, of whom nearly 11,000 speak the Mí’kmaq language. Once written in Mí’kmaq hieroglyphic writing, it is now written using mostly letters of the standard Latin alphabet.
