اللغات الأصلية بالأمريكتين
اللغات الأصلية بالأمريكتين: دخل الإنسان الأول العالم الجديد عن طريق مضيق بِرِنگ Behring الذي وصله بالقارة الآسيوية، وحمل معه لغاته التي انتشرت ببطء من أقصى الشمال حتى أقصى الجنوب. ولا يتوافر كثير من المعلومات حول أصول اللغات الهندية - الأمريكية American- Indian، والتسمية مغلوطة مثلما هي تسمية سكان البلاد الأصليين بالهنود، ولكن لابد أنها كانت من أوائل اللغات التي تداولها الناس في سهوب شمالي القارة الآسيوية؛ إذ إن هناك كثيراً من أوجه الشبه في الأصوات والنبر بين اللغات التي يتكلمها السكان الأصليون الحاليون في شمالي سيبيريا وروسيا وشبه الجزيرة الاسكندناڤية وبين لغات الإنويت Inuit ـ أو الإسكيمو Eskimo ـ في أقصى شمال شرقي القارة الأمريكية الشمالية والألوت Aleut في أقصى شمال غربيها ولغات كثير من القبائل الهندية الأمريكية، وثمة تشابه أيضاً في أسلوب المعيشة والتقاليد من غناء «همهمة» وطقوس دينية. وقد انقرض كثير من هذه اللغات، ولم يبق منها سوى النزر اليسير نتيجة الإبادة الجماعية التي تعرض لها عشرات الملايين من سكان العالم الجديد الأصليين على يد المستوطنين البيض وبعد فرض لغات الغزاة ودياناتهم على من تبقى منهم.

خلفية
تتداخل لغات العالم الجديد الأصلية مع تداخل القارات الأمريكية الثلاث بعضها بالآخر. ففي أمريكا الشمالية تسود أسر اللغات الإسكيمو- الألوت، والألگونكوينية Algonquin التي منها لغات قبائل الآراباهو Arapaho وبلاكفوت Blackfoot وشايين Cheyenne، والهوكا- السو Hoka-Sioux التي منها لغات قبائل كرو Crow وسو Sioux وبوني Pawnee وإروكوا (شيروكي) Iroquois (Cherokee) ومسكوگي (كريك) Muskogee (Creek). وتسود في غربي القارة أسر لغات نادييه Nadene وآتاباسكا (آباتشي) Athabaska (Apache)، والبنوتية أو البنوطية (شِنوك) Penutian (Chinook). وتسود البنوتية في أمريكا الوسطى أيضاً، إضافة إلى أسر اللغات الأُتو أزتيكية Uto-Aztec التي منها الأزتيكية البائدة والشوشونية (الكومانشية) Shoshonean (Comanche)، وماكرو أوتومانگوية Macro-Otomanguean، وماكرو شِبشانية Macro-Chibchan المنتشرة حتى القارة الأمريكية الجنوبية حيث تسود أسر اللغات الأندية - الاستوائية Andean-Equatorial، والجيبانو- كاريبية Ge-Pano-Carib التي تشمل البحر الكاريبي أيضاً، إضافة إلى لغات الأراوكان Arawakan أو Araucan المنتشرة في المنطقة الجغرافية ذاتها.
وقد أدى غياب أي تراث أدبي ولغوي مدون - إضافة إلى الأسباب التي سبق ذكرها - إلى اندثار معظم اللغات الهندية - الأمريكية.
