: Can someone please tell me which Native American languages are being spoken in the film by Wes Studi, Russell Means, DDL and Eric Schweig?

: Thanks, I appreciate your help --

: Linda

Linda,

Wes/Magua spoke Huron &, some say, Cherokee. They are both phonetically similar as they are both Iroquoian.
RM, ES, & DDl/Ching, Uncas, & Hawkeye spoke Delaware. Mohican & Delaware are VERY close and both are Algonquian.
