Nez Perce is a Shahaptian language and is called Shaptin or Nimiipuu (the tribe's name for themselves).
The language is very difficult for English-speaking people to learn because it has many unfamiliar sounds, both consonants and vowels, that are not present in English.
A few words are:

palxo.ckin..........owl
naqc..................one
