Zuni Grammar

Zuni grammar is the set of rules that govern how words and phrases are structured in the Zuni language, a Native American language spoken by the Zuni people. It includes how words are formed (morphology), how they are combined into sentences (syntax), and how grammatical relationships like tense, mood, and possession are expressed. Zuni often uses verb centric sentences, with prefixes and suffixes indicating subject, object, and other grammatical functions. Its structure reflects the language’s unique worldview, emphasizing actions and relationships over static descriptions. Understanding Zuni grammar helps in accurately translating and preserving its rich linguistic and cultural heritage.
