Uto-Aztecan languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Uto-Aztecan languages are found from the Great Basin of the western United States (Oregon, Idaho, Utah, California, Nevada, Arizona), through Mexico. The Uto-Aztecan languages are a Native American language family. Classic Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, and its modern descendants are part of the Uto-Aztecan family. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Uto-Aztecan_languages   (169 words)

Stocks and families of Mexican languages The genetic relationship of the languages which are today known as the Uto-Aztecan language stock was recognized by the late 19th century and firmly established by the middle of the 20th century. Several families of Uto-Aztecan languages are or were spoken in the western part of the United States. Regardless of the details of family subgroupings, the Otomanguean stock, which includes languages from as far north as the states of Hidalgo and Querétaro (Otomi) and as far south as Nicaragua (Mangue, now extinct), is a group of languages whose potential for the study of language change over the centuries rivals that of Indo-European languages. www.sil.org /mexico/22i-Stocks.htm   (1087 words)

Untitled Document 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). 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. This evidence is crucial because of the phylogenetic structure of Uto-Aztecan. www.traditionalhighcultures.com /HillUApaper.htm   (6383 words)

Uto-Aztecan languages --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! The Uto-Aztecan languages are recognized by modern linguists as falling into eight groups, four of which make up the Shoshonean division and three the Sonoran division. The Uto-Aztecan languages are more distantly related to the Kiowa-Tanoan language family of the southwestern United States, and the combined group is known as Azteco-Tanoan. The languages of the Shoshonean division (all of which are spoken in the United States) are (1) Numic (formerly called Plateau Shoshonean), which includes Mono and Northern Paiute, Panamint and Shoshone, and Kawaiisu and Ute; (2) Tubatulabal; (3) the Takic (or southern Californian) branch, including Serrano, Luiseño-Juaneño, Gabrieleño-Fernandeño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño; and (4) Hopi. www.britannica.com /ebc/article-9074562   (828 words)

Traditions of Mexico - Indigenous Languages The Shoshone language is very closely related to the Paiute language, and some Shoshone tribes today live as far north as Idaho and Montana, representing the northernmost stretches of the Uto-Aztecans. The Aztecan or Náhuatl-speaking peoples of central and southern Mexico speak almost thirty languages and are the single largest linguistic group in Mexico. As you might expect, a family is a group of languages that are genetically and culturally related to one another. www.houstonculture.org /mexico/aztec.html   (2341 words)

internal classification of the numic languages of uto-aztecan Despite the still controversial state of the internal classification of Uto-Aztecan, the linguistic unity of a Numic (or Plateau Shoshonean) branch has never been called into question. We do this for two reasons: first, the stops clearly represent the 'heart' of the problem in all Numic languages, and second, unneeded complexity would be introduced into the chart by the inclusion of nasals, semivowels, and /s/, which would detract from the mnemonic intent of this information. An examination of the phonologies of the Numic languages clearly reveals their most salient аnd pervasive feature to be what SAPIR (1931) originally dubbed medial 'consonant processes' for SP. www.vjf.cnrs.fr /celia/FichExt/Am/A_04_04.htm   (1526 words)

Are You Related to the Aztecs? The Shoshone language is very closely related to the Paiute language, and some Shoshone tribes today live as far north as Idaho and Montana, representing the northernmost stretches of the Uto-Aztecans. Studies in historical linguistics have analyzed the Uto-Aztecan tongues and the Náhuatl language in particular and have determined that Náhuatl was actually not native to central Mexico.

The Nacateca Language Instead, analytical languages reveal whether particular words function as subjects, verbs or objects strictly by their relative order in a sentence, or by how they modified by other words. A strictly inflectional language, such as Latin, so clearly labels its nouns, verbs and modifiers with prefixes and suffixes that the words can occur in practically any order within a sentence and a speaker of the language will readily understand the sentence. Compounding occurs quite often in Nacateca, and Nacateca writers and masters of elocution are not a bit chary of coining new compounds. www.bergonia.org /Nacateca.htm   (3484 words)
