The Hopi people speak the Hopi language. It is called Hopílavayi by them. About 75% of the population speak it, about. Only a few older people (about 40) only speak Hopi and no English. There are four dialects. They traditionally spoke with the Zuni in Hopi not Zuni. There have been Tewa speakers living on Hopi lands since the 1680s but few Hopis speak Tewa. The Tewa often acted as translators with the Navajo, Tewa Pueblo people, Spanish and English.
Hopi is in the Northern Uto-Aztecan. This is a group of about 16 languages including Paiute, Ute, Shoshone and Comanche but Hopi is considered distant form these languages almost isolated on it's own. It has 6 vowels and 20-32 consonants depending on the dialect. One dialect has tones. It is a subject-object-verb language but subject and predicate sentences are common. It uses a lot of suffixes. It has cases. There are singular, dual and plural as inn ancient Greek.
Here is a Hopi sentence: Tömö' taawa tatkyaqw yámangwu
Which means: "In the winter the sun rises in the southeast"
"Nu' kwaahut tuwa" means: "I saw an eagle"
"Pam 'as kiihut peenani" means: "He was going to paint the house (but didn't)"
