    “Michif is a rather unique hybrid French-Cree language spoken by less than 1,000 Métis speakers in the western Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and in North Dakota (possibly in Montana and Oregon) in the United States” (Robert A. Papen, “Hybrid Languages in Canada Involving French: The Case of Michif and Chiac,” Journal of Language Contact 7, no. 1 [2014]: 157).
