Beothuk languageとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Beothuk language (pronounced /biːˈɒtək/ or /ˈbeɪ.əθʊk/; also called Beothukan) was spoken by the indigenous Beothuk people of Newfoundland. As the Beothuk are extinct and few written accounts of their language exist, little is known about it. It is sometimes assumed to be part of the neighbouring Algonquian language family, but there is insufficient evidence to draw any strong conclusions. In 2007, DNA studies showed genetic links between the Beothuk and the Algonquian-speaking Mi'kmaq.
