"The language of which this grammar treats was specifically that of the Massachusetts tribes of Indians, dwelling near the sea-coast of the present state of Massachusetts ... It was spoken ... by the Wampanoags of Plymouth Colony, the Narragansets and Nianties, the islanders of Nope (Martha's Vineyard) the Montauks, etc. ... It has also been called the Nonantum language, but more frequently the Natick tongue ..."--Pilling, Bibl. of the Algonquian lang., p. 172
