Best Answer

Southern Paiute people speak:

  1. English
  2. Chemehuevi (on the verge of extinction)
  3. Southern Paiute
  4. Ute

Most people speak English. Chemehuevi, Southern Paiute, and Ute are dialects of Colorado River Numic. According to Ethnologue, there were a little less than two thousand speakers of Colorado River Numic Dialects in 1990, or about 40% out of a population of 5,000.
