     Extractions: American Indian Languages American Indian Cultures What's new on our site today! Language: About 500 Metis people in North Dakota and scattered locations in Canada still speak Michif, a unique French- Cree creole using French nouns, Cree verbs, and some local vocabulary borrowed from Indian languages like Ojibway or Dene . Unlike most creoles, Michif shows little if any grammatical simplificationthe polysynthetic verb phrases of Cree are preserved in their full complexity. It's likely that Michif originated, not as a pidgin between Crees and Frenchmen trying to communicate with each other, but as a badge of identity and occasionally-necessary secret code among Metis raised in both languages (similar to Yiddish in Europe). Most Michif speakers today are fluent in neither Cree nor French. Children are no longer learning Michif, leading linguists to class the language as "moribund" (headed for extinction), but there have been efforts to revive its use as a cultural language in some Metis communities.

Nipmuc Indians are the original people of central New England, and are among the "Eastern Woodlands" or Algonquian Indians of the Eastern United States. Before the arrival of European settlers in the 1600s, the Nipmuc (or "Fresh Water People") lived in numerous band encampments, or ‘villages’, near bodies of fresh water in a territory (called ‘Nipnet’) which extended from the present day Vermont and New Hampshire borders, through Worcester County in Massachusetts, into northern Rhode Island, and into northeastern Connecticut as far south as Plainfield.

Included here are pages which show what orthographical symbols are required, and keyboards which allow easy and ergonomic typing of these languages.

     The condition of native North american languages The need for realistic assessment and action. International Journal of the Sociology of language, 132,  
     http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jcamacho/363/nativetoday.htm
     
     Extractions: National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education How Many Languages? Language scholars believe that prior to the arrival of Columbus, approximately 300 languages were spoken in North America; since then, the number of indigenous languages has dropped considerably. Figures on current language use vary (Crystal, 1987; Krauss, 1998; Grimes, 1997) but indicate that roughly half of these languages are now extinct. Many of the remaining languages are considered moribund , or near extinction, as they have few speakers and these speakers are all elders. Some projections suggest that by the year 2050, only twenty indigenous American languages will remain (Crawford, 1999). How Many Speakers? Krauss (1998) notes that the earliest broad survey of language speakers was in 1964; other inventories followed, including SIL International's Ethnologue. According to data provided in Ethnologue, there are over 361,978 speakers of indigenous American languages. It is difficult, however, to determine a precise census of speakers of these languages, and Krauss suggests that reasons for this difficulty include confusing US Census language definitions and biased responses by some respondents. Speakers may deny their language ability (because of a perceived prejudice or stigma) while others may overestimate their own language ability.

     Extractions: free trial issue subscribe back issues Athena Review, Vol. 1, No.3 South American Languages Humans have been in South America for at least 12,500 years. As settlements spread along rivers and coastlines, both intermixture and isolation of South American populations occurred, with millenia of separation eventually resulting from barriers of water, rainforests, and mountains. Such ancient trends, overlain by more recent displacements of colonialism, have caused South America to contain the most diverse body of native languages on any continent. Many are now extinct, and others are mere remnants of what contact period sources such as Carvajal, reporting for the Orellana Amazon expedition in 1542 , saw as very large populations. A total of 34 language families and over a dozen isolated stocks with about 1000 individual languages have been identified in South America. This represents a high level of diversity on the level of language family compared to other continental areas. All of Africa, Asia, and Europe combined have only 21 language families, some of which have many more languages than any South American language family. In Africa, for example, a single family (Niger-Congo) contains 1436 languages, while another (Bantu) has over 1000 languages. In Europe and western Asia, meanwhile, the Indo-European family includes 425 languages, ranging from Gaelic to Hindi. Fig.1:

Louisiana tribes underwater from Hurricane Rita by: Brenda Norrell / Indian Country Today MONTEGUT, La. - The Pointe-au-Chien and Isle de Jean Charles of the Biloxi-Chitimacha tribal lands south of New Orleans were underwater as of Sept. 23, as Hurricane Rita advanced on the Gulf Coast. ''The Point-Au-Chien Indian Tribe's community is now under water,'' said Patty Ferguson, tribal member and tribal attorney. ''I don't know how many homes will end up underwater, as water is still coming in. Now would be a good time to send supplies, such as cleaning supplies: bleach, mops, buckets, brooms, sponges and gloves.
