There are actually four geographically and culturally diverse groups of Miwok, Native Americans that are native to Northern California: Plains and Sierra Miwok, Coast Miwok, Lake Miwok, and Bay Miwok. Please see the related link below for more info:
The Miwok Indian tribe got their name from the word people because in the native language miwok means people.
The Miwok Indians had several distinct groups within the tribe. The Coastal Miwoks lived near the Pacific Ocean, along the California coast. The Lake Miwoks lived in Clear Lake Basin.
The Coast Miwok Indians spoke various dialects of the Miwok language, which is part of the Penutian language family. The dialects spoken by the Coast Miwok people included Marin, Bodega, and Bolinas.
In Paiute it's, howe. The e makes the sound you hear in the word, Nevada. It should almost sound like, How way, but without drawing out the way, clip it short.
The Haya language, which is a Niger-Congo language, is spoken in Tanzania and named after the Haya who speak it. They live in the south and southwest of Lake Victoria.
