Freelang Ojibwe-English dictionary
Ojibwe (also known as Ojibwemowin, Ojibwa(y), or Chippewa(y); and when combined with Algonquin, Oji-cree, Ottawa and Potawatomi, is also known as Anishinaabe or Anishinaabemowin) is an Algonquian language, like Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Cree (James Bay, Muskego, Naskapi, Woods, etc.) and Wabanaki (Abenaki-Penobscot, Maliseet, Micmac, etc.). It is spoken by around 13,800 people in the United States and by as many as 45,000 in Canada, making it the second most commonly spoken Native language in Canada (after Cree), and the third most spoken in North America (behind Navajo and Cree).
