Crow is classified as a Siouan language, although it takes a language expert to demonstrate the connections between Crow and Lakota or Crow and Assiniboine.

There are some difficult sounds in Crow that you don't find in English: for example the letter X is used for a throaty khsound and the letter l can sound like l,d,n, or r. Here are a few words in the Crow language:

isaa.........................large

aapa.......................leaf

cheeta....................wolf

bia..........................woman

apa.........................bird

aluuta.....................arrow

balaxxii...................bow, weapon

iittaashtee..............shirt

bitchii......................knife

iichiili.......................horse

maxpe....................sacred

daxpitse.................bear

baapaatua.............sign language

iis...........................face

kahe......................welcome

shipita....................black

shua.......................blue, green

chia.........................white

hisshi......................red

alaxchii....................war deeds, coups

ahu.........................many

bachee....................man

bishka.....................dog

ashi........................teepee

tatee......................good

bili..........................water

bii...........................stone

shiili.......................yellow

It is feature of the Crow language that when referring to the name of a person, you add -sh to the end. So taking the words alaxchii and ahu above you can make the name Alaxchia-ahush, or Plenty Coups (Many War Achievements), a famous Crow chief.

Most people today believe that Native Americans used the term "White Men" to describe the settlers, explorers, soldiers and other newcomers. In the Crow language, the term is baashchiili,literally "yellow-person".
