Native Languages of the Americas:

Preserving and promoting American Indian languages

Welcome to Native Languages of the Americas! We are a small non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of Native American languages, particularly through the use of Internet technology. Our website is not beautiful. Probably, it never will be. But this site has inner beauty, for it is, or will be, a compendium of online materials about more than 800 indigenous languages of the Western Hemisphere and the people that speak them.

about Native American Languages

Our site is designed to present information about American Indian languages contextually--language by language and tribe by tribe. These are linguistically diverse languages deserving of individual attention, and it is very difficult to make accurate generalizations about them as a group. However, our site is also unfinished and may be of limited use to people seeking information on a language we have not yet covered. For this reason, we are providing some links to the main pages of sites with information about many different Native American languages. Hopefully if you are looking for a language we have not finished work on yet, these sites can provide a starting point for your search.
