Bannock language

Bannock is a Native American language spoken by the Bannock people, primarily in Idaho and surrounding regions of the United States. It belongs to the Numic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, which includes languages like Shoshoni and Paiute. Bannock is a key aspect of the Bannock cultural identity, embodying traditions, oral histories, and community values. Unfortunately, like many indigenous languages, it is considered endangered, with efforts underway to revitalize and preserve it among younger generations. Understanding and promoting the language is vital for maintaining the unique heritage of the Bannock people.
