The Ottawa is nearly related to the Shawanose, but the Chippewa more immediately to the Delaware. The language of the Twichtwees and Wawlachtanos resembles the Sbawanose; in dialect the Kikapus, Tukachohas, Moshkos, and Karhaski, differ from the Delaware in proportion to their distance from each other, but all are nearly related." The Algonquin dialects spoken in the valley of the Hudson, at the time of the discovery, were at least six in number : The Manhattan, the Wappanoo, the Mohican, the Minsi, the Unami and the Unalachtin. It is stated that the Mahicans conquered the territory which they occupied, mixed with their own the dialect of the people whom they had subdued and formed that subsequently spoken by themselves. It is also said that the Wappanoos overran the old Manhattans and created another mixed dialect, while the third type was found among the na tives of Long Island, in which perhaps many of the essential features of the Manhattan were preserved..Of the three types on the west, the Unami and the Unalachtin are classed as Delaware as distinguished from the Minsi.
