Lakota,
Dakota
- Siouxak tribu mordo bat ziren. Beren
izena, beren hizkuntzan, Lakota edo Dakota da,
dialektoaren arabera. Gaur egunean badirudi Lakota izena
Sioux guztiak izendatzeko erabiltzen hasi dela. Lakotaz
mintzo diren taldeak: Oglala, Sicangu (Brule), Hunkpapa,
Miniconjous, Sihasapa, Itazipacola (Sans Arcs) eta
Oohenupa ("Katilu Bi"). Dakotaz mintzo direnak: Santee
(Mdewakantonwon, Wahpeton, Wahpekute, Sisseton), Yankton
eta Yanktonai. Kanadako Assiniboine eta Stoney herriak
Siouxengandik oso hurbil daude; beren jatorrizko izena
Nakoda edo Nakota da. Dakotaz mintzo dira 5,000 lagun
Kanadan eta 15,300 EEBBetan. Lakotaz beste 6,000 lagun
Estatu Batuetan. 1990eko erroldan, 103,000 Sioux zeuden
EEBBetan.

Sioux
- The Sioux were a wide group of
distinct tribes, wich called themselves and their
language Lakota or Dakota, depending on the dialect. The
name Lakota seems to be in use nowadays to designate all
the Sioux. Among the Lakota-speaking groups we have the
Oglala, Sicangu (Brule), Hunkpapa, Miniconjous, Sihasapa,
Itazipacola (Sans Arcs) and Oohenupa ("Two Kettle"). The
Dakota-speaking are the Santee (Mdewakantonwon, Wahpeton,
Wahpekute, Sisseton), Yankton and Yanktonai. The
Assiniboine and Stoney peoples of Canada are very close
to the Sioux: they call themselves and their language
Nakota (or Nakoda). There are around 5,000 Dakota
speakers in Canada, and 15,300 in USA; another 6,000
speakers of Lakota in the US. In the 1990 census, there
were 103,000 ethnic Sioux in the US.
