East Cree (Southern and Northern dialects) is a variety (or 'dialect') of the language linguists refer to as 'Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi'. This language belongs to the Algonquian language family (Central Algonquian). Varieties of the language spoken in Labrador, which used to be referred to as either Montagnais or Naskapi, are nowadays referred to as 'Innu-aimun'.
