Miami-Illinois is an Algonquian language within the larger Algic language family. The name "Miami-Illinois" is a cover term for a cluster of highly similar dialects, the primary ones being Miami proper, Peoria, Wea, Piankeshaw, and, in the older Jesuit records, Illinois. About half of the surviving several hundred speakers were displaced in the 19th century from their territories, eventually settling in northeastern Oklahoma as the Miami Nation and the Peoria Tribe. The remainder of the Miami stayed behind in northern Indiana.
Saving Rare Indigenous Language [Audio] | Science Nation
Non-invasive technology allows researchers to transfer recordings from thousands of decaying wax cylinders
Description: Optical scan technology is helping researchers at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, preserve audio of 78 indigenous California languages, most of which were recorded more than a century ago. The recordings are on approximately 2,700 wax cylinders that are now barely audible due to issues such as mold. These are the only known sound recordings for several of the languages, and in many other cases, the recordings include unique speech practices and otherwise unknown stories and songs.
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), linguist Andrew Garrett, digital librarian Erik Mitchell and anthropologist Ira Jacknis, all of UC Berkeley, are restoring...

The Miami (Miami-Illinois: Myaamiaki) are a Native American nation originally speaking one of the Algonquian languages.
Among the peoples known as the Great Lakes tribes, it occupied territory that is now identified as Indiana, southwest Michigan, and western Ohio. By 1846, most of the Miami had been removed to Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma).
The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is the only federally recognized tribe of Miami Indians in the United States. The Miami Nation of Indiana is an unrecognized tribe.

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), linguist Andrew Garrett, digital librarian Erik Mitchell and anthropologist Ira Jacknis, all of UC Berkeley, are restoring these recordings. The researchers are using a non-invasive optical scanning technique that was developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory physicists Carl Haber and Earl Cornell. The collaboration with Haber and Cornell is enabling the NSF-funded research team to transfer all 100 hours of audio content from the wax cylinders and improve the recordings, finally making it possible to figure out which language is being spoken and what's being said.
The rich Native American cultural collection will ultimately be accessible to indigenous communities as well as to the general public and scholars. The linguistic diversity of the world's estimated 7,000 languages is immense. Modern technologies like this one unlock the documentation to enable new community uses and scientific investigations.

This research was co-funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities; grant number PD-230659-15.

The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is the only federally recognized tribe of Miami Indians in the United States. The Miami Nation of Indiana is an unrecognized tribe.
The name Miami derives from Myaamia (plural Myaamiaki), the tribe's autonym (name for themselves) in their Algonquian language of Miami-Illinois. This appears to have been derived from an older term meaning "downstream people."
Some scholars contended the Miami called themselves the Twightwee (also spelled Twatwa), supposedly an onomatopoeic reference to their sacred bird, the sandhill crane.
Recent studies have shown that Twightwee derives from the Delaware language exonym for the Miamis, tuwéhtuwe, a name of unknown etymology. Some Miami have stated that this was only a name used by other tribes for the Miami, and not their autonym. They also called themselves Mihtohseeniaki (the people). The Miami continue to use this autonym today.

Who is the old man, who fills my heart with greatest pain yet his name remains unheard? I look at you and true tears shake my eternal Saturnworld. Who is the old man, whose picture burned itself down to the bottom of my soul. You push me back and raise me up, the criteria for both I long to know. Who are you I worship? What is the name of the one I saw? Tell me how to reach you, to you I'd bow my head in awe. You speak to me but what is it I hear? We have never really touched... - such is the design of my greatest fear. Cruel, cruel, cruel... a veil I cannot penetrate, in different worlds we dwell, attempting to dissolve what separates. I force my face against this strangest membrane-wall and desperately I call for you from the darkest depths of my lonely soul. The mist of the dimensions through which to glance it seems not allowed, or maybe it's just that our "level" is of no interest as it is simply too low. Is it true that only the mirrors' strength can conquer the mist and then be therefore received? You turn around the illusion of a voice... - my desire crowned by another defeat. If doubt walks in I am growing weak in fear... - "one day all pictures fade". Lying down, looking inside I call my dead lover in his grave. My eyes have caught a glimpse of you, now I devour myself to embrace your peace. The distance grows, we drift apart. What is the use of eyes if they cannot see? Hear me in my darkness, please wait for me, I'll find the way. I promise, I shall resist the tides,
