O'odham language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia O'odham (often referred to by the names of its two nearly-identical main dialect groupings, Papago and Pima) is an Uto-Aztecan language of Southern Arizona and northern Sonora where the Papago and Pima reside. O'odham ñiok (sometimes written O'odham ñeok) is the native name for the language, ñiok meaning speech or language. For example, Pima cu:vĭ /ʧʊːvʰ/ (jackrabbit) is written and pronounced cu:wĭ /ʧʊːw/ in Papago, but Pima wuai /wʊai/ (deer) is written and pronounced identically in Papago. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pima_language

Drunken Boat Dennis Holt I use the word "transformations" here because after noting that the poems on the CD were created first in the O'odham language, Zepeda then cautions the listener that their English versions are not strict translations and thus sometimes differ in meaning from the originals. She recently was awarded a grant from the Endangered Language Fund for work on a dictionary of Tohono O'odham. She is a professional linguist, an Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona, and the author of a number of books and articles, including some on the Tohono O'odham language. www.drunkenboat.com /db3/holt/review.html

O'odham language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia O'odham (often referred to by the names of its two nearly-identical main dialect groupings, Papago ( Tohono) and Pima( Akimel)) is an Uto-Aztecan language of Southern Arizona and northern Sonora where the Papago and Pima reside. It is the second most widely-spoken Native American language in the United States of America, with over 12,000 speakers in the US, including over 180 monolinguals, and many more in Mexico. A reasonable estimate of the total number of O'odham speakers is 30000, but if everybody with the most basic level of fluency is counted, the number would probably be over 45,000. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/O'odham_language

Finally, we plan to support other language groups with similar projects through a description of the process (on a web page) and direct help. jan.ucc.nau.edu /~jar/RIL_9.html

VIEW ROA 466 In the Muskogean language Koasati (Kimball 1991), pluralization in indicative verbs may be shown allomorphically by truncation of a root-final rhyme or consonant. Examination of anti-faithfulness constraint interactions in the grammars of Koasati, Tohono O'odham, and Lardil will illustrate a more general morph-phonological framework under which subtractive morphological operations may be analyzed without reference to the syllable or rhyme template which previous analyses of subtraction have relied upon. The essential argument is that high-ranking anti-MAX constraints are operative on the OO-correspondence relation of the singular/plural paradigm, forcing truncation of at least one segment in the derived word in a manner restricted by more general phonological constraints on the grammar. roa.rutgers.edu /view.php3?id=544

California and Southwest Indian Legends One of these languages, O'Odham, is still spoken by over ten thousand people who live on seven different reservations in south central Arizona, many of them on the Gila and Salt Rivers near the city of Phoenix. The Shasta peoples spoke a language related to Karok, although there are only a few Shasta speakers alive today living in the Quartz Valley Reservation in Siskyou County. There are approximately 5000 Karok still living there (making it one of the largest tribes in California today), with approximately 120 who are Karok language speakers. www.mythfolklore.net /3043mythfolklore/reading/california/background.htm
