Mohawk language

The Mohawk language, known as Kaghnú:se, is an Indigenous language of the Iroquoian family, primarily spoken by the Mohawk people in Canada and the United States. It features a complex system of verbs and a unique phonetic structure, which can be challenging for non-native speakers. The language has been affected by colonization, leading to a decline in speakers, but revitalization efforts are underway, including immersion programs and educational initiatives. Mohawk is not only a means of communication but also a vital element of cultural identity, containing rich expressions of history, traditions, and values of the Mohawk community.
