What languages were spoken by Wyandot Indians?

Answer 1

The Menominee tribe spoke the Algonquian language in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. Not much people speak it anymore though, only elders and people who wish to know more of their culture. But this is what I know.

Answer 2

Originally the four Pawnee tribes spoke a language called Sanish, the language of the Arikara tribe - because they formed part of that tribe.

When the Pawnees and Arikaras separated, the Pawnee language developed slight differences but retained the basic elements of Sanish. Both Sanish and Pawnee belong to the Caddoan language group which also includes Wichita and Caddo.

Only around 20 fluent Pawnee speakers remain today, along with only about 3 Arikara Sanish speakers.

A few words in Pawnee, with the Sanish equivalents are:

English.....................Pawnee............................Sanish

One.........................Asku.................................Axku

Man.........................Piita..................................Wiita

Woman....................Tsapaat..............................Sapat

Sun..........................Sakuru..............................Shakuunu

Moon........................Pah...................................Pah

Black........................Kaatiit...............................Katiit
