More distantly related tribes included the Accomac, Assateague, Choptank, Nanticoke, Patuxent, Pokomoke, Tockwogh and Wicomoco. Related Algonquian-speaking tribes included the Anacostan, Chincopin, Choptico, Doeg, or Doge, or Taux Tauxeneen, Mattawoman, and Pamunkey. They were also referred to by the names of their villages: Moyaone, Accotick, or Accokicke, or Accokeek Potapaco, or Portotoack Sacayo, or Sachia Zakiah, and Yaocomaco, or Youcomako, or Yeocomico, or Wicomicons. The Piscataway were recorded by the English (in days before uniform spelling) as the Pascatowies, Paschatoway, Pazaticans, Pascoticons, Paskattaway, Pascatacon, Piscattaway, and Puscattawy. All these groups are located in Southern Maryland. Within the latter group was included the Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Sub-Tribes and the Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians. Two major groups representing Piscataway descendants received state recognition as Native American tribes in 2012: the Piscataway Indian Nation and Tayac Territory and the Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland. One of their neighboring tribes, with whom they merged after a massive decline of population following two centuries of interactions with European settlers, called them the Conoy. They spoke Algonquian Piscataway, a dialect of Nanticoke. The Piscataway / p ɪ s ˈ k æ t ə ˌ w eɪ/ or Piscatawa / p ɪ s ˈ k æ t ə ˌ w eɪ, ˌ p ɪ s k ə ˈ t ɑː w ə/, are Native Americans. Mattawoman, Patuxent, Doeg, Nanticoke, Yaocomico
