		Normally the fewer the speakers of a language the greater the degree of endangerment but there are many small Native American language communities in the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico) which continue to thrive despite their small size.
		A language isolate, the Keres are the largest of the Pueblo nations.
		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 and languages
		Most languages are known to belong to language families (called simply "families" for the rest of this article).
		Language families can be subdivided into smaller units, conventionally referred to as "branches" (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.

		Language documentation is of course also an issue for scholars who need to conduct research in countries where often only the national language is well documented, as well as for the NRCs that support such scholars.
		The language documentation project has been supported since its inception by the NFLRC and the UH NRCs for Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific Islands, primarily by providing modest stipends to the native speaking participants who are the focus of the project.

	Keres Language (Acoma, Cochiti, Laguna, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Santo Domingo, Zia)
		The languages spoken by the Pueblo people of Acoma, Cochiti, Laguna, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Santo Domingo, and Zia Pueblos are so closely related that linguists usually consider them dialects of a single language, known as Keres or Keresan.
		This Keresan language is not related at all to the Kiowa-Tanoan languages spoken by most of the other Pueblo people of New Mexico, however.
		However, many Keres speakers have decided that literacy is important for passing the language on to the children.

		The indigenous languages are critical aspects of their cultures: language is the means by which knowledge and traditions are transmitted from one person to another, and from one generation to the next.
		Thus, the language and the culture of the community were passed on to the children in keeping with the socialization practices that have sustained Cochiti people for as long as anyone can remember.
		The plan here has been to establish Keres language classes in the schools attended by the children, and for tribal members to have a voice in deciding both the content to be taught and the methods to be used.

	Keres
		The language spoken in Cochiti is Eastern Keres, an unwritten language.
		The thought of writing/documenting Keres may in their opinions be completely culturally out of context with what it means to be “Cochiti” in the first place.
		The fluent generation has the luxury of choosing to reject language documentaion altogether as a means to an end of having the language survive (as in going back to traditional methods).
