Paiute
The Paiute were the main inhabitants of
the Great Basin region of the western USA, from Arizona to
Oregon, covering most of Nevada and Utah. The main Paiute
groups are the Northern Paiute, who live in Northern Nevada
and adjacent areas of Oregon, California, and Idaho (2,000
speakers out of 4,000 population), and the Southern Paiute,
also called, more simply, Ute. The Ute live in southwestern
Colorado and southeastern and northeastern Utah; the
Southern Paiute in southwestern Utah, northern Arizona, and
southern Nevada; and the related Chemehuevi (they speak
another dialect of the same language) on lower Colorado
River, California. There are some 2,000 speakers of Southern
Paiute, out of 5,000 population. The Paiute speak lamguages
of the Uto-Aztecan family. So far, we have a list of
placenames in Southern Paiute.
