		A language isolate, the Keres are the largest of the Pueblo nations.
		Each signing nation had a separate signed version of their spoken language, that was used by the hearing, and these were not mutually intelligible.
		Typically, immigrant languages tend to be lost through assimilation within a few generations, though there are a couple groups such as the Cajuns (French), Pennsylvania Dutch (German), and the original settlers of the Southwest (Spanish) who have maintained their languages for centuries.

		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

		Pidgins are makeshift, hybrid languages that arise when speakers of different languages in regular but superficial contact must work together or conduct trade.
		Historically, pidgin languages have arisen among hired or slave workers on ethnically mixed plantations, though ``pidginization'' occurs continuously in holiday resorts, port cities, and immigrants' workplaces.
		Researchers find that when children are raised using a pidgin as their mother tongue during the critical period before adolescence, they use their instinctive language skills to improvise further grammatical complexity, transforming their parents' crude pidgins into grammatically richer, more expressive ``creoles.'' Creoles are bona fide languages, with subtle grammatical markers and consistent word orders.
