Hale va assenyalar el testimoni de l'historiador colonial Robert Beverley, Jr. que el dialecte presumiblement relacionat de l'Occaneechi era usat com a lingua franca per totes les tribus de la regió de qualsevol tronc lingüístic, i era coneguda pels caps, "conjuradors", i religiosos de totes les tribus, que fins i tot el van utilitzar en les seves cerimònies, igual que els sacerdots europeus utilitzaven el llatí.

Hale noted the testimony of colonial historian Robert Beverley, Jr.--that the presumably-related dialect of the Occaneechi was used as a lingua franca by all the tribes in the region of whatever linguistic stock, and it was known to the chiefs, "conjurers," and priests of all tribes, who even used it in their ceremonies, just as European priests used Latin.
