Zuni language

Zuni is a Native American language spoken by the Zuni people in western New Mexico. It belongs to the Zuni language family, which is unique and unrelated to other indigenous languages in the region. Zuni has a complex sound system and intricate grammar, characterized by verb morphology that conveys various meanings.
