What is the mohawk Indians language?

The Mohawk language is called Kanien'kéha. It is an Iroquoian language spoken by the Mohawk people, primarily in the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario, Canada, and Akwesasne, which straddles the border of Ontario, Quebec, and New York State in the United States.

Kanien'kéha is a distinct language within the Iroquoian language family and is not directly related to other Indigenous languages in North America.

It's important to remember that Mohawk is an umbrella term that encompasses various groups with distinct histories and traditions. While Kanien'kéha is the primary language for the Mohawk people, there are other languages spoken within the larger Mohawk community, such as Oneida and Onondaga.
