The native peoples of Virginia spoke Algonquian dialects and were known by the English as the group of Powhatan Indians.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The Powhatan tribes were just another tribe of Algonquians that had moved to the Atlantic coasts after breaking from their ancestors. This tribe, like a few other Algonquian tribes, had adopted their native languages but with a bit of modification to the original.
This modification termed the modified language to be termed as a dialect of the original Algonquian language.
