Bahasa Mandan

Mandan (Mandan: Nų́ų́ʔetaa íroo) adalah bahasa Siouan yang sudah punah. Bahasa ini pernah dituturkan oleh suku Mandan di wilayah Dakota Utara di Amerika Serikat.

Pada tahun 2009, hanya ada satu penutur fasih bahasa Mandan yang tersisa, yaitu Dr. Edwin Benson (1931–2016).The Missoulian. 11 May 2009. Jodi Rave. "The last speaker: UND to honor Mandan, last to speak Nu'eta as 1st language." Bahasa ini pun punah setelah ia meninggal dunia pada tahun 2016. Meskipun begitu, bahasa ini diajarkan di sekolah-sekolah lokal. Bahasa ini juga diajarkan di Fort Berthold Community College.

Bahasa Mandan awalnya dianggap berhubungan erat dengan bahasa Hidatsa dan Crow, tetapi bahasa Mandan sudah berhubungan dengan bahasa Hidatsa dan Crow selama bertahun-tahun, sehingga hubungan antara bahasa Mandan dengan bahasa-bahasa Siouan lainnya tidak diketahui secara pasti.

Bahasa ini terdiri dari dua dialek utama, yaitu Nuptare dan Nuetare.
