    Michif (also Métchif, French Cree) is one of the languages of the Métis people of the prairies who are descendants of mainly French Canadian voyageurs and northern Plains First Nations. Its nouns and noun grammar (possessives, plurals, adjectives, etc) come almost entirely from French. (en.wikipedia.org) [Langue :Linguistique:]
