Omaha or Maha is the name of a tribe, not their language - they spoke Cegiha or Dhegiha, a language belonging to the Siouan group; their neighbours the Ponca spoke a very similar language which is usually treated as identical.

The Dhegiha word Šaŋge, meaning "dog" corresponds to Lakota Šunka, showing a close relationship.
