		In such familiar languages, the subject of the sentence is in the nominative case—that is, the subject has the same form and function, whether the sentence is transitive (has a direct object) or intransitive (lacks an object).
		Languages that have switch reference indicate whether a subject or object of a clause is the same as or different from the subject or object of an earlier clause.
		Languages such as Russian and Latin, which distinguish the role of a noun (such as subject, direct object, or indirect object) by case marking are said to have nominal case systems.

		Due to the diverse Keresan language dialects and varying tenninology among the seven Keresan Pueblos, the fourteen Phase One and eight Phase Two interviews were conducted primarily in English, with the exception of the Keresan terminology utilized in the descriptions of the traits, characteristics, and talents of Keresans who reflected the Native concept of giftedness.
		Although no Keresan term exists for giftedness, present in the Keresan language are descriptive terms referring to the possession of unique and special cultural abilities, traits, and talents in specific areas which retain their significance only in the Pueblo value system.
		The Keresan (or Native) and mainstream (or conventional) notions of giftedness outlined in Table 5 demonstrate the contrasting elements of the two concepts and is intended to initiate an understanding of the Native concept of giftedness as it relates to the tenets of gifted education.

		In fact, Zuni and Keresan are language isolates and are believed not to be related to any other known languages.
		Just as many plant and animal species are becoming extinct, languages are also dying and many have already become lost, once the oldest living speaker of a given language dies.
		Over 300 distinct languages were spoken by Native Americans in 1900, but, according to linguist Ives Goddard (1996:3) by 1995, only 46 of these languages were still spoken by a significant number of children.

		Some of the languages were formerly more widespread; the Caddo, for example, used to live in northeastern Texas, southwestern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana as well as southeastern Oklahoma.
		Adai, a language isolate known only from a 275-word list, may be a Caddoan language, but the documentation is too scanty to determine with certainty.

		The fact is that minority languages of the Russian Federation (except for Tatar, and to a lesser extent Chuvash), have no tradition of scientific and technical use beyond being employed in schools for mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology lessons (until the 1960s for Chuvash).
		Despite the initial attempt at legislative support and functional expansion for minority languages made in the 1990s, many native languages of the Russian Federation are in very unfavorable conditions, which may lead to their gradual extinction.
		Thus the future of many minority peoples, whose languages are already endangered, may depend on whether they could be able to introduce their languages into computer environment or not.

	Keres Language and the Keres Indian Pueblos (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.
		The Keres-speaking pueblos have developed their own orthography (spelling system) for their language, and today there are programs teaching Pueblo children to read and write in five of the seven Keres-speaking pueblos.

	Keresan Pueblo Indian Sign Language
		KPISL is an intriguing language and is used among both Deaf and hearing individuals living on the pueblo.
		This newly discovered language, an idiosyncratic home sign language, was developed perhaps by family members in order to communicate with their offspring, siblings and relatives who have a hearing loss.
		Sign Language was found to be used among the Iroquois in New York state, the Cherokee in the southeastern region of the United States, the Eskimos in Alaska, the Navajo and Hopi in the Southwest, and by the Mayan in Old Mexico (Johnson, 1994; Scott, 1931; West, 1960).

		Additional research into vocabulary for local flora and fauna in the Southwestern languages is badly needed to determine whether "pine nut" is an unusual case, or whether other Uto-Aztecan plant and animal vocabulary may reflect the influence of such locally-recruited women and their male consanguines.
		The maize vocabularies of the Yuman languages, Zuni, and Keresan seem all to be quite independent both of one another, of Kiowa-Tanoan, and of Uto-Aztecan.
		This form is unique among the Uto-Aztecan languages, which elsewhere have reflexes of PUA pa: "water." Shaul and Hill suggested that su:-dagi, literally "green-ness", originated as a truncation of a loan from Colorado River Yuman havasu "green, blue", yielding su:, and the Uto-Aztecan abstract-noun-forming suffix seen in Tepiman -dagi, from PUA *-ra'a-wv (Dakin 2003).

		In between these two extremes was the third group, known as the Keresan Bridge because they were intermediate in their organization.
		While the Keresan Bridge Pueblos (those not included in the Western Pueblos and who are located along the Rio Grande) had lineages and clans, they used nonkinship units (again, sodalities and associations) to fill governmental duties.
		Each group-the Western Pueblos, the Keresan Bridge Pueblos, and the Eastern Tanoan Pueblos-shares a constellation of characteristics that includes similarities in political, social, and ceremonial organization as well as farming techniques.

		V. argues that his “lexical approach” captures the essential “irregularity” of Keresan semantics and theme derivation.
		Thus, the grammatical connections among various independent verb forms can best be shown by listing them in stem sets (including stem suppletion for nonsingular arguments) and in theme sets (with various argument and voice structures).
		One text is given in an appendix, and previous work on Keresan languages is extensively discussed.
