	Tejas > Caddo Fundamentals > Caddoan Languages and Peoples
		The speakers of the Northern Caddoan languages are also referred to as the Plains Caddoans because all four tribes (and their various bands) lived in the Southern and Central Plains during historic times.
		Glottochronology is controversial because, among other reasons, not all languages change at the same rate and because it is often difficult or impossible to compare languages that are poorly known.
		Ancestral Wichita groups were first encountered in 1541 by Coronado's expedition in the vicinity of the Great Bend of the Arkansas River in present day south-central Kansas.

	Wichita language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wichita is a moribund Caddoan language spoken in Oklahoma.
		Wichita has been claimed to be unusually asymmetrical at a phonemic level, though this is less apparent at a phonetic level.
		However, in Wichita, for each of the three to four vowels qualities, one of the three lengths is rare, and in addition the extra-long vowels frequently involve either an extra morpheme, or suggest that prosody may be at work.

	On "Wichita Vortex Sutra"
		Language that has been made to serve the judgmental rational faculty rather than the imagination and the deeper self will necessarily become as superficial and dangerous as the master it serves.
		The proliferation and prostitution of language through the mass media has transmogrified the natural magic power of language, words to express the ineffable and the transcendent, into evil fl-magic language that denies the ineffable and transcendent and elevates the spiritless untruths of modern politics and culture.
		Language bludgeons the reader from every direction, on the sides of boxcars, from church lawns, neon advertisements, newspapers, television, radio, grain elevators, the sides of barns.

		I'll be discussing language as growth-in-time, as opposed to a static entity, and what implications this has for conlangers whose aim is naturalistic languages.
		Abstract: This talk explores case and agreement systems in different languages, with particular reference to the ways in which case-role assignment interacts with factors related to argument and event structure, such as animacy, definiteness and specificity, ‘aktionsart’ (whether the predicate is stative or dynamic, telic or atelic, etc.), and aspect (perfectivity, habituality, etc.).
		Under the morpheme-based account of language, meaning is merely strung together like beads on a string, and is in a one-to-one correspondence relationship with more or less fixed phonological entities (i.e., roots and affixes).

		While there is probably some historical basis, it is difficult to imagine a tribe as large and powerful as the Cherokee being forced to move anywhere, although they may have lost some territory in the north to the Susquehannock, Erie, or Delaware.
		Considering their language differences with other Iroquian groups, the Cherokee probably have been a distinct group for a considerable period.
		Particularily noteworthy was the invention of written language by Sequoyah (George Gist) in 1821.

		If you would like to honor a family member, a special person or provide support for a specific program or department that was meaningful to you, then you can designate your bequest specifically for that purpose.
