====N-dialect==== The most defining feature of Massachusett in comparison to other SNEA languages is the outcome of {{IPA|/n/}} in reflexes of PEA *''r'', itself a merger of Proto-Algonquian *''r'' and *''胃''. Massachusett and its dialects always have {{IPA|/n/}} and thus its classification as an SNEA N-dialect. This becomes {{IPA|/j/}} in the Y-dialects of Narragansett, Eastern and Western Niantic and Mohegan-Pequot, {{IPA|/r/}} in the R-dialects of Quiripi and {{IPA|/l/}} in the L-dialect Nipmuc language.<ref>Costa, D.
