The Seneca language belongs to the Northern Iroquoian branch of the
Iroquoian language family, where its closest relatives are Cayuga,
Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, and Tuscarora. Seneca holds special
typological interest because of its high degree of polysynthesis
and fusion. It is historically important because of its central
role in the Longhouse religion and its place in the pioneering
linguistic work of the 19th century missionary Asher Wright. This
grammatical description, which includes four extended texts in
several genres, is the culminatin of Chafe's long term study of the
language over half a century.
