Paipai is the native language of the Paipai peoples. It is part of the Yuman language family. There are very few speakers
left because most Paipai now live in Kumeyaay villages. It is believed that Paipai was separated from the Northern Pai languages
many years ago. In oral tradition of most Yuman tribes, the people descended from Avikwame (also known as Newberry Mt. ) and
went were Kumat directed them. So at one time the Paipai might have been with the other tribes. The Paipai language was documented
by Judith Joël and Mauricio J. Mixco, who have published texts and studies of syntax. Paipai belongs to the Yuman language
family, which may form part of the hypothetical Hokan linguistic phylum. Within the Yuman family, Paipai belongs to the Pai
branch, which also includes the Upland Yuman language, dialects of which are spoken by the Yavapai, Walapai, and Havasupai
of western Arizona. The relationship between Paipai and Upland Yuman is very close; some observers have suggested that Paipai
and Yavapai are mutually intelligible (i.e. , that the Paipai and Upland Yumans spoke dialects of a single language), while
other observers have claimed that they are not. The controversial technique of glottochronology suggests that the Pai branch
of Yuman may have separated from the other two branches of Core Yuman (River Yuman and Delta–California Yuman) about 1,000-1,700
years ago. Paipai may have separated from Upland Yuman 1,000 years ago or less. {{#invoke: Navbox | navbox }} |
