Nez Perce, also spelled Nez Percé or called Niimiipuutímt, is a Sahaptian language related to the several dialects of Sahaptin
(note the spellings, -ian vs. -in). The Sahaptian sub-family is one of the branches of the Plateau Penutian family (which
in turn may be related to a larger Penutian grouping). It is spoken by the Nez Perce tribe of the northwestern United States.
Nez Perce is a highly endangered language. While sources differ on the exact number of fluent speakers, it is almost definitely
under 100. The Nez Perce tribe is endeavoring to reintroduce the language into native usage through a revitalization program,
though at present the future of the Nez Perce language is far from assured. The grammar of Nez Perce has been described in
a grammar (Aoki 1970) and a dictionary (Aoki 1994) with two dissertations (Rude 1985; Crook 1999). |
