Comment:
Mohegan-Montauk-Narragansett (mof-mof) = 10 (Extinct).

The extinct language consisting of Mohegan, Montauk and Narragansett (an Eastern Algonquian language), is missing from E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 ( W. Cowan 1973 , Aubin, George F. 1972 , Granberry, Julian 2003 , Granberry, Julian 2003 , Edwards, Jonathan 1788 ).

Retired in ISO 639-3: split into Mohegan-Pequot [xpq] and Narragansett [xnt]

Excerpt from change request document:

The situation of the languages of eastern southern New England in the 17 and 18 centuries is a little confusing... Given the certainty that Narragansett does not belong with Mohegan-Pequot and the uncertainty of whether or not it belongs with Massachusett, it seems a prudent idea to give Narragansett its own place within ISO 639-3.
