- Roger William's A key into the language of America: or, An help to the language of the natives in that part of America, called New-England is the first study of an indigenous language in America, according to J.C. Pilling. It consists of 32 chapters regarding various aspects of Naragansett life and includes a discussion of social life and customs regarding that activity and a glossary of words and phrases. Each chapter closes with the verses of a song in English, without music.
