The Odawa language (also known as Daawaamwin, Nishnaabemwin, Ottawa [ISO 639-3]) is a dialect of Anishinaabemowin spoken by the Odawa/Ottawa peoples. It is spoken in Ontario and Michigan, and is going through revitalization in Oklahoma. Nishnaabemwin is characterised by its high degree of vowel syncope, when compared with other Anishinaabe language dialects.
