Shoshonean languages

Shoshonean languages are a group of Native American languages spoken mainly by the Shoshone, Paiute, and Ute peoples, primarily in the western United States. They belong to the larger Numic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, which includes languages like Comanche and Hopi. The Shoshonean languages have distinct dialects and reflect the diverse cultures and histories of the tribes that speak them. These languages are crucial for preserving cultural identity and history, as well as for the revitalization efforts in Indigenous communities today.
