The Algic languages ( ), also Algonquian–Wiyot–Yurok or Algonquian–Ritwan, are an indigenous language family of North America. Most Algic languages belong to the Algonquian subfamily, dispersed over a broad area from the Rocky Mountains to Atlantic Canada. The other Algic languages are the Yurok and Wiyot of northwestern California, which, despite their geographic proximity, are not closely related to each other. All of these languages descend from Proto-Algic, a second-order proto-language, estimated to have been spoken about 5,000 years ago. This language is reconstructed using the reconstructed Proto-Algonquian language and the Wiyot and Yurok languages. . Cree is the most widely spoken Algic language.
