	Lakota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lakota are the westernmost of the three Sioux groups, occupying lands in both North and South Dakota.
		The large and powerful Arikara, Mandan, and Hidatsa villages had prevented the Lakota from crossing the Missouri for an extended period, but when smallpox and other diseases nearly destroyed these tribes, the way was open for the first Lakota to cross the Missouri into the drier, short-grass prairies of the High Plains.
		But Lakota are also found far to the north in the Fort Peck Reservation of Montana, the Fort Berthold Reservation of northwestern North Dakota, and several small reserves in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where their ancestors fled to "Grandmother's Land" (Canada) during the Minnesota or Black Hills War.

		He states: The most important relationship between language and culture that gets to the heart of what is lost when you lose a language is that most of the culture is in the language and is expressed in the language.

		For example, the Lakota words topa (four) and nupa (two) have the same plain 'p' sound, yet Netzel marks the p in topa with a diacritic and leaves the p in nupa unmarked.

	Encyclopedia: Catawba language
		The Catawba language, which is now being revived, is part of the Siouan language family.
		For this reason, scholars of the Catawba language have found inconsistencies in the grammar, two or three unrelated words describing the same object or action and certain verbs that have up to 15 stems.
		The classification "Native American languages" is geographical rather than linguistic, since those languages do not belong to a single linguistic family, or stock, as the Indo-European or Afroasiatic languages do.

	IU linguists involved in preservation of Lakota language
		The major LLC goal is to standardize Lakota language instruction, curriculum and resource materials to provide the necessary long-term technical, social and financial structure needed to revitalize the Lakota language.
		“Lakota speakers of the last fluent generation are becoming elders, and no realistic grassroots effort had emerged to direct the language recovery until the LLC was created,” said Ray DeMallie, AISRI director and a leading Lakota scholar.
		He said the number of Lakota speakers is rapidly diminishing, and current estimates show that within 10 years or less, 90 percent of the population at Pine Ridge will be unable to speak Lakota unless the trend is reversed.

	Native American Languages
		When such correspondences are discovered, the languages being compared are judged to have a historical connection, either genetic--because of descent from a common ancestor--or through language contact and the consequent "borrowing" of words.
		While most languages have accusative case systems like that of English (opposing grammatical categories of subject and object), active systems in which the same morpheme is used to indicate the object of a transitive verb and the subject of a stative verb are not uncommon.
		Alaskan languages and some as far south as California have Russian loans, for instance, dating from the time of extensive trade with Russia, and borrowings from Spanish are common throughout California, the Southwest, and, of course, Latin America.

	Lakota - Dakota - Sioux Nation
		The Lakota [lakxo'ta] came from the western Dakota of Minnesota who, after the adoption of the horse, ('power/mystery dog'), became part of the Great Plains Culture with their Minnesota Algonkin-speaking allies, the Tsitsistas (Cheyenne), living in the northern Great Plains, which centered on the buffalo hunt with the horse.
		Instead, the Lakota with their allies, the Arapaho and the Cheyenne, defeated the 7th U.S. Cavalry in 1876 at the Battle at the Greasy Grass/Battle of the Little Bighorn, known also as Custer's Last Stand, since he and all 300 of his troopers perished there.
