    Extractions: Native American Languages Act of 1990 P.L. 101-477 (October 30, 1990) This federal policy statement recognizing the language rights of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders was quietly enacted in the waning hours of the 101st Congress. Sponsored by Senator Daniel Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, the bill passed on a voice vote in both House and Senate without hearings or any vocal opposition. It authorizes no new programs for Native Americans, nor additional funding for existing ones, but is expected to facilitate efforts to preserve indigenous languages. SHORT TITLE SEC. 102. The Congress finds that— (1) the status of the cultures and languages of Native Americans is unique and the United States has the responsibility to act together with Native Americans to ensure the survival of these unique cultures and languages; (2) special status is accorded Native Americans in the United States, a status that recognizes distinct cultural and political rights, including the right to continue separate identities; (3) the traditional languages of Native Americans are an integral part of their cultures and identities and form the basic medium for the transmission, and thus survival, of Native American cultures, literatures, histories, religions, political institutions, and values;

    Extractions: THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN PAGE This page gives a picture of the way Native Americans lived in California in the past. There is also some information about where the groups live today, and some information about festivals and places where artifacts are exhibited, as well as mention of contemporary artists. The map above shows language groups. To use the map, click on a colored area to go to a map of groups related by language, and then click on the color area to find the names of the groups, and once more to display text on that group. Or, you might prefer to access information by group name. Click here for a map of California's location in the United States. This project was created using early ethnographic resources, and attempts to give a picture of what life was like for Native Californias at the time of European contact. Of course, although the ethnographers tried to understand what they saw and were told, they must have made mistakes. The best people to talk to about Native California are the California Indian people themselves.

    Extractions: A common misconception is that there was one Native American language. In reality, there were perhaps a thousand languages spoken in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans - about 250 in the present territory of the United States alone. In addition, these languages showed tremendous variety between one another. A trio of individuals from three areas a hundred miles apart might very likely have been completely unable to communicate by speech. There was, however, a sign language used in some areas to allow communication between those of different tribes. This is described in detail in William Clark's book, "The Indian Sign Language". The spoken languages were neither primitive nor simple, and many had grammars as complex as those of Russian and Latin. However, with the exception of an ideographic system used by the Mayans and their neighbors near the Yucatan peninsula, none of the native languages of America had a writing system until the arrival of Europeans. More on the Mayan system of writing.

The Sum of Accurate Information Editor's Gloss The Guild Model Intensive Disciplinarity Alternatives to Peer Review ... The Effects of Computers on Writing Typesetting Native American Languages 14 Lessons Desktop Publishing Software Letters to the Editor Front Page All the native American languages spoken today are written either in some Latin alphabet, augmented with "accented" letters, or in a syllabary, a set of indivisible syllabic symbols, each of which represents a syllable. The Apache and the Navaho languages are among the native American languages that use a Latin alphabet, while Cherokee, Inuiktitut, and Cree are among the languages that use modern syllabaries. Syllabaries, common in ancient scripts, were used by the Maya and the Epi-Olmec people of Mesoamerica. Because a syllabary is less expressive than an alphabetic script, it can be transcribed in an alphabetic script without losing meaning. Students of the Cherokee language learn a Latin transcription of the syllabary to make it easier to learn Cherokee. The same characteristics that allow Cherokee to be transcribed into the Latin alphabet allow the creation of typesetting tools for syllabaries. A modern typesetting tool designed to handle syllabaries should allow users to type the symbols either directly (e.g., using a Unicode editor if the script is supported by the Unicode Standard,

    Extractions: Native American languages are the indigenous languages of the Americas , spoken from Alaska and Greenland to the southern tip of South America . The Native American languages are not a single language family , but consist of dozens of distinct language families as well as many language isolates Archeological and DNA evidence suggests that the Americas were peopled by migrants from Siberia about 13,000 years ago. From Alaska, the descendants of those first migrants went on to people the rest of North and South America . The language spoken by these early migrants, and the process by which the current diversity of Native American languages emerged, are a matter of speculation. Some evidence suggests that the ancestors of the Na-Dene - and Inuit-Aleut -speakers arrived separately from Siberia some time after the earliest settlers. Several Native American languages developed their own writing systems , including the Mayan languages and Nahuatl , the language of the Aztecs . These and many other Native American languages later adapted the Roman alphabet Aleut was first transliterated into the Cyrillic Alphabet , and later into the Roman alphabet Subsequent to the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians In 1929 the linguist Edward Sapir wrote: Few people realize that within the confines of the United States there is spoken today a far greater variety of languages ... than in the whole of Europe. We may go further. We may say, quite literally and safely, that in the state of California alone there are greater and more numerous linguistic extremes than can be illustrated in all the length and breadth of Europe. . . . It would be difficult to overestimate the value of [the technical studies documenting these languages] for an eventual philosophy of speech. Sapir's words celebrate both the diversity of Native American languages and their contribution to the study of one of the most important capacities possessed by human beings: the ability to construct languages. This contribution began to influence linguistic scholarship as early as the sixteenth century. For example, Fray Bernardino de Sahagún and his Aztec colleagues wrote the twelve-volume encyclopedic work entitled General History of the Things of New Spain (c. 1548) entirely in the Nahuatl language. This and other early recordings of Nahuatl gave us our first extensive written record of a polysynthetic language.

    Extractions: S peaking of the sacredness of things, I honestly believe, as a linguist who is supposed to view languages as objects of scientific study, that somehow or other they elude us, because every language has its own divine spark of life. Philosophers have said that languages are, in fact, forms of life. I believe that. As I have said before, a hundred linguists working for a hundred years could not get to the bottom of a single language. I never heard any linguist disagree with that statement. Yes and a hundred Navajo linguists working a hundred years on Navajo still, I am sure you would all admit, would not get to the bottom of Navajo. It certainly would help, though, if there were a hundred Navajo linguists working a hundred years on Navajo. Let us hope that Navajo and other such languages will be around for a hundred years. How much longer, though, will these remaining languages survive? That concern brings me here to Flagstaff, because it is up to us more than anybody else to help save these languages. No one today is actively punishing people, as far as I know, for speaking their language in school. Now people are losing their languages further, because they have been brainwashed for generations by English-only policy and pressure in the schools to give up their languages, unnecessarily, in the process of learning English. For their languages, they have been turned into their own worst enemies.
