Their languages are very different: Pima is classed as a Uto-Aztecan language, Maricopa is a Yuman language.

The Maricopa are closely related to the Yuma people; historically they lived along the Gila river in close proximity to the Pima. In 1680 there were around 2,000 Maricopa; in 1775 there were perhaps 3,000; by 1905 this had been reduced to just 350.

The Pima may have lived originally along the Salt River, later spreading to the Gila. In 1680 they numbered around 4,000; in 1775 they numbered about 2,500; by 1930 there were 4,382. Today the Pima language is known as O'odham, also spoken by the Papago tribe.
