Que que na-tor-ra means you will understand in Algonquin, also spelled Algonkin and pronounced Al-GON-kin. The character Grandmother Willow in the 1995 Disney animated feature Pocahontas sings this lyric in the song Listen With Your Heart.
Sources suggest that there are approximately 8,000 Algonquin people living in Canada, divided into ten First Nations: one in Ontario and nine in Quebec. It is estimated that about 2,700 people still speak the language. Linguists believe that Algonquin is closely related to Ojibwa, as speakers of these languages can generally understand each other.
You can learn the Algonquin alphabet from www.omniglot.com. Visit www.native-languages.org to learn Algonquin words (body parts, animals, numbers, colors) and their pronunciations.
