Both English and Spanish are foreign languages.

Algonquin, on the other hand, is one of many native language types.

Spanish predates English West of the Mississippi and in Florida.

Puerto Rico is also not a foreign country, it is an American territory.

That said, the show sucked.

Where did the Algonquin come from?

Algonquian is a language family and there are dozens of actual languages within it, most of which are not mutually intelligible. Native America was much like India to the extent that there were hundreds of languages and dialects spoken.

English, Spanish, Portuguese (and to a much lesser extent, French) are the national languages of the New World.
