Well, actually, this article isn't part of that project, since that project's contribution so far seems to have been tagging the article's talk page, and since that project seems to have existed for two days, while this article has been here since I wrote it in April 2004, and it is essentially unchanged since that time. - Nunh-huh 16:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the chief's namwe pronounced massaswa or massasoyt--Omar35880 (talk) 00:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Growing up we all said "Massa-soy-it" ... unusual, and not in any dictionary that I can find, but I never heard anyone use any other pronunciation. Dictionaries seem to go with "Massa-soit".—Soap— 15:57, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a South Shore native I'm quite surprised to see that there are multiple statues of the great Massasoit in Utah, as well as Kansas City. Surely there must be a story behind this that could be incorporated? 71.234.198.222 (talk) 12:18, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Massasoit. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20061104203528/http://www.mayflowerfamilies.com/philip/d1.htm to http://www.mayflowerfamilies.com/philip/d1.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

   Could someone add the book "King Philip" (1885) by J.S. Abbott?
   Thanks.

At the risk of being obvious, what is the pronunciation of the name of the subject of this article? If the proper Indian pronunciation, if any, differs from the common English one, provide both.

See above, .... I grew up in this area and we learned a pronunciation that one would not expect from the spelling. I confirmed with someone else that it was real, not just a case of our teachers all collectively misreading it, etc .... but dictionaries seem to pronounce it more or less as spelled.

Im not sure if we can reconstruct the original Native American name anymore. Massasoit is all we know. —Soap— 18:03, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9MHRSimXLU establishes that the unusual pronunciation is fairly widespread .... —Soap— 08:32, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
