The Konkow language (also called Northwestern Maidu — or Koyoomk'awi, in the language itself) is a part of the Maiduan language group. The word koyoo means, meadow, with the additional 'm' being the adjective form of the word. 'Koyoo+ [m, adj. ] k'awi + [m, adj. ] Ma'a [tribe tribe]. ' It is spoken in California and is a severely endangered language, as only two or three persons remain who speak it as a first language are still living. As part of an effort to regain official recognition of one of the Konkow groups as an officially recognized tribe from the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, an effort to provide language instruction amongst the descendants of the original tribe and affiliated family members has begun.
