AMERICAN INDIANS
LANGUAGE Is VARIED
Members of One Tribe Cannot Pro-
nounce Words Of Other Tribess
1000 Languages

1t appears to be quite common
popular supposition that the Ameri-
can Indians all had one common Ian
guage. This is entirely wrong; in
reality there are about 1000 Ian
guages spoken by the Indians of both
American continents and about 500 of
these are spoken north Of Mexico, ac-
cording to an article in the Scienti-
fic American.
All the family and tribal Ian
guages of the Indians may be CLASH
fled into groups, the article goes on
to say, so that the philologist is not
obliged to learn each language; all
that is necessary is to study the basic
principles of the speech of linguis-
tic group then, by familiarizing him
self with certain rules and exceptions
he can comprehend a large part of
the speech of the several branches of
the group. By keeping in mind the
law evolved by Grimm, the compiler
of the well-known fairy tales, name
ly, that certain consonants corre-
spond i'm all related languages, the
scientist is able to recognize the same
word dispite its DISCUSSES.
An Indian of one tribe does not
give word of pronunciation different
from that given it by other tribes in
order to disguise his speech but for
the reason that he is unable to pro-
nounce certain sounds. For example,
the Sioux call themselves by a name
which means "allies"; this is pro-
nounced Dakota" by the Indians of
the eastern or Santee division, "Na-
kota" by those of the middle or
Yankton division and "Lakota" by the
western or Teton division.
Besides these and numerous other
variations, the eccentricities in speech
of the individual, of the family pro-
per and of the camp-group, corre-
spending to the differences in the
English languages spoken by people
in the different sections of the Unit
ed States, have to be taken into con-
sideration by the philologist and care
must be taken to eliminate the local
and colloquial accents because the
speech of the Indians is not written
language, with a grammar and die
tionary, except such as have been
compiled by the white man after
study of their language.
