Manhattan

== English == === Alternative forms === (the cocktail): manhattan === Etymology === From the earlier form Manna-hata recorded by Dutch travelers and settlers, from its name in Unami, the local Algonquian language. The name generally understood to be a compound of Unami mënatay (“island”) or Munsee munahan (compare Abenaki manahan) with another element. According to a report by John Heckewelder, the name is connected to a wooded area whose trees were suitable for making bows. Linguist Ives Goddard explains the early forms Manna-hatta(n) and Mannahachtink as spellings of Munsee manaháhtaan (“place for gathering the wood to make bows”) and its related locative form manaháhteenk. This interpretation breaks down the word as a compound of manah- (“gather”) +‎ -aht (“bow”) +‎ -aan (“place”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /mænˈhætn̩/ (General American) IPA(key): /mænˈhætn̩/, [mænˈhæʔn̩] (New York City) enPR: mənhătən, IPA(key): /mənˈhætn̩/, [mn̩ˈhætn̩] (US, regional) IPA(key): [mn̩ˈhæʔɪ̃n̩], [mn̩ˈhæʔn̩] Hyphenation: Man‧hat‧tan === Proper noun === Manhattan An indigenous people of North America who lived in present day New York State.
