The earliest substantial vocabulary of Massachusett was that taken by William Wood and published in his New England's Prospect in 1634. It represents the North Shore dialect of the language and contains over 250 words and phrases in the now-extinct language. Included are the numbers up to twenty, days of the week, months, and names of important people and places.

Massachusett Vocabulary,
By
This review is from: Wood's Vocabulary of Massachusett (American Language Reprints) (Hardcover)
This is a 17th-century vocabulary of the Massachusett (Wampanoag) language, an unfortunately extinct Algonquian Indian language of New England. This volume is small but clear and includes some historical background, proper names, and a translation of a Christian prayer.
