Quiripi language

Quiripi is the name of a Native American language of the Algonquian language family, specifically the Algonquin-Mosan branch. It was spoken by the Quinnipiack tribe of south-central Connecticut. It is theorized to be extinct due to the dwindling and disappearance of the Quinnipiack tribe during the colonial period.

A Quiripi word which remains to the present-day is the tribe's name of Quinnipiack. It is believed this word means either "long water river" or "long water country".
