Nez Perce is a Shahaptian language and is called Shaptin or Nimiipuu (the tribe's name for themselves).
The language is very difficult for English-speaking people to learn because it has many unfamiliar sounds, both consonants and vowels, that are not present in English.
A few words are:
sik'em................horse
ya-ka.................bear
saq'anta.yx...... eagle
palxo.ckin..........owl
naqc..................one
lepit...................two
hama.................man
'ayat..................woman
hisemtuks..........sun
