Among sister Algonquian languages are Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Cree, Fox, Menominee, Potawatomi, and Shawnee. The Algic family contains the Algonquian languages and the so-called "Ritwan" languages, Wiyot and Yurok. Ojibwe and its similar languages are frequently referred to as a "Central Algonquian" language; however, Central Algonquian is an areal grouping rather than a genetic one. Among Algonquian languages, only the Eastern Algonquian languages constitute a true genetic subgroup. The northern Algonquin dialect of Anishinabemowin as spoken at Winneway, Quebec (Long Point), and Timiskaming First Nation, Quebec, is a similar dialect to the Oji-Cree dialect (Severn/Anishininimowin) of northwestern Ontario, despite being geographically separated by 800 km as the crow flies. There are several dialects of the Algonquin language, generally grouped broadly as "Northern Algonquin" and "Western Algonquin". Speakers at Maniwaki consider their language to be "Southern Algonquin", though linguistically it is a dialect of "Nipissing Ojibwa", which together with "Mississauga Ojibwa" and "Odawa" form the "Nishnaabemwin (Eastern Ojibwa)" group of the Ojibwa dialect continuum. The consonant phonemes and major allophones of Algonquin in Cuoq spelling, one of several common orthographies, and its common variants are listed below (with IPA notation in brackets):  In an older orthography still popular in some of the Algonquin communities, known as the Malhiot () spelling, which the above Cuoq spelling was based upon, are listed below (with IPA notation in brackets):  The Algonquin consonants "p", "t" and "k" are unaspirated when they are pronounced between two vowels or after an "m" or "n"; plain voiceless and voiceless aspirated stops in Algonquin are thus allophones. So kìjig ("day") is pronounced , but anokì kìjig ("working day") is pronounced . Algonquin does have nasal vowels, but they are allophonic variants (similar to how in English vowels are sometimes nasalized before "m" and "n").
