108-762: A Keresan-Zuni grouping. J. P. Harrington wrote one unpublished paper with the title "Zuñi Discovered to be Hokan" (Campbell 1997). As Zuni is a language in the Pueblo linguistic area , it shares a number of features with Hopi , Keresan, and Tanoan (and to a lesser extent Navajo ) that are probably due to language contact . The development of ejective consonants in Zuni may be due to contact with Keresan and Tanoan languages which have complete series of ejectives. Likewise, aspirated consonants may have diffused into Zuni. Other shared traits include: final devoicing of vowels and sonorant consonants, dual number , ceremonial vocabulary, and

144-646: A homeland that spanned from the Southern Great Plains to the Gulf of Mexico, with significant presence in what is now Texas. While little archeological history was left behind by the Lipan Apache, the pictographs at Hueco Tanks which were made between 1500 AD and 1879 AD are attributed to Mescalero Apache. Ancestors of the Lipan Apache living along the Canadian River made the first known European contact during

180-412: A number of words from Keres , Hopi , and O’odham pertaining to religion and religious observances. A number of possible relationships of Zuni to other languages have been proposed by various researchers, although none of these have gained general acceptance. The main hypothetical proposals have been connections with Penutian (and Penutioid and Macro-Penutian), Tanoan , and Hokan phyla , and also

The earliest known written record of the Lipan Apache identified this tribe as Ypandes . Nancy McGown Minor wrote that the word Lipan stems from the Lipan words lépai, which means 'the color gray', and ndé, which means 'the people', which would make Lipan mean 'The Light Gray People'. The name Apache may be of Zuni origin, coming from

252-644: Is a language of the Zuni people , indigenous to western New Mexico and eastern Arizona in the United States . It is spoken by around 9,500 people, especially in the vicinity of Zuni Pueblo , New Mexico , and much smaller numbers in parts of Arizona . Unlike most indigenous languages in the United States, Zuni is still spoken by a significant number of children and, thus, is comparatively less threatened with language endangerment . Edmund Ladd reported in 1994 that Zuni

The Zuni name for their own language, Shiwiʼma ( shiwi "Zuni" + -ʼma "vernacular"; pronounced [ˈʃiwiʔma] ) can be translated as "Zuni way", whereas its speakers are collectively known as ʼA꞉shiwi ( ʼa꞉(w)- "plural" + shiwi "Zuni").

360-478: Is used to avoid using adult names, which have religious meanings and are very personal. There are twenty letters in the Zuni alphabet. This orthography was largely worked out by Curtis Cook. Linguists and anthropologists have created and used their own writing system for Zuni before the alphabet was standardized. One was developed for Zuni by linguist Stanley Newman (Newman 1954). This practical orthography essentially followed Americanist phonetic notation with

432-704: The Keresan languages . The most clearly articulated hypothesis is Newman's (1964) connection to Penutian, but even this was considered by Newman (according to Michael Silverstein ) to be a tongue-in-cheek work due to the inherently problematic nature of the methodology used in Penutian studies (Goddard 1996). Newman's cognate sets suffered from common problems in comparative linguistics , such as comparing commonly borrowed forms (e.g. "tobacco"), forms with large semantic differences (e.g. "bad" and "garbage", "horse" and "hoof"), nursery forms, and onomatopoetic forms (Campbell 1997).

Some Lipan Apache people settled northwest of San Antonio during

As a confederacy, they united to defend against

864-813: The Southwest, Zuni employs switch-reference . Newman (1965, 1996) classifies Zuni words according to their structural morphological properties (namely the presence and type of inflectional suffixes), not according to their associated syntactic frames. His terms, noun and substantive , are therefore not synonymous. Zuni uses overt pronouns for first and second persons. There are no third person pronouns. The pronouns distinguish three numbers (singular, dual and plural) and three cases (subject, object and possessive). In addition, some subject and possessive pronouns have different forms depending on whether they appear utterance-medially or utterance-finally (object pronouns do not occur utterance-medially). All pronoun forms are shown in

972-649: The Tonkawa and Lipan, who in turn, shared it with the Comanches, Mescalero Apaches, and Plains Apaches. In the 1860s, Spanish chroniclers wrote that some Lipan Apache lived near the Gulf Coast and adopted lifeways of the neighboring Karankawa . By 1700, Lipan had settled across southern Texas and into Coahuila , Mexico . They still lived in agricultural settlements, where they farmed indigenous crops such as pumpkins, corn, and beans, as well as watermelons, introduced from Africa. French explorer Bénard de La Harpe encountered
