Powhatan or Virginia Algonquian is an Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian languages. It was formerly spoken by the Powhatan people of tidewater Virginia.

The sole documentary evidence for this language is two short wordlists recorded around the time of first European contact. William Stracheyrecorded about 500 words and Captain John Smith recorded only about 50 words.[2][3] Smith also reported the existence of a pidgin form of Powhatan, but virtually nothing is known of it.[4] Strachey’s material was collected sometime between 1610 and 1611, and probably written up from his notes in 1612 and 1613, after he had returned to England. It was never published in his lifetime, although he made a second copy in 1618. The second copy was published in 1849, and the first in 1955.[3] Smith’s material was collected between 1607 and 1609 and published in 1612 and again in 1624. There is no indication of the location where he collected his material. Like many Algonquian languages, Powhatan did not have a writing system, so all that is left are the writings from the 17th century and the piecing together that can be done using related Algonquian languages.

Oh! Right.

If they lived more than 2-3 years in captivity and would enjoy being walked on a leash. Or carried in a snugli like a wee baby.

I would be all over that.
