  Native American languages
A language family consists of two or more tongues that are distinct and yet related historically in that they are all descended from a single ancestor language, either known or assumed to have existed.
The languages of the Tanoan branch of Aztec-Tanoan are spoken in the Rio Grande valley, New Mexico, and Arizona.
At present, the aboriginal languages of the Western Hemisphere are gradually being replaced by the Indo-European tongues of the European conquerors and settlers of the New World—English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Dutch.

Likewise, the language and dialect boundaries between pre-contact Uto-Aztecan speakers, the overwhelmingly dominant language family of the region, are unclear.
The discussion of linguistic affiliations is too brief to indicate anything but the lack of differentiation among the Cahita "languages." Thus, the Uto-Aztecan cultural and linguistic dominance of the region and the linkages of cultures and histories both to the north and south is lost.
