Zuni Language
-Introduction
Zuni is a dying language. Though many in Zuni still speak it, it is being forgotten through the generations. I hope this section will keep it alive a little longer. Zuni is a complicated language (though not as complicated as Navajo), and is very unique among the pueblo tribes. Scientists have conducted studies to find that the language nearest in linguistics to Zuni is not another pueblo language, but instead Japanese. The grammar section offers only a glimpse of the grammar system used by the Zunis, and regretfully offers little to give the correct forms of the hundreds of verbal exceptions. The dictionary is still under construction, but should serve its purpose rather well upon completion. The translator will be up once my friend Matthew has the bugs worked out.
