Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
American Indian languages represent a rich and diverse linguistic heritage that reflects the history, culture,
and worldview of Indigenous peoples across North and South America. These languages, numbering hundreds,
embody unique grammatical structures, oral traditions, and systems of knowledge. Despite centuries of decline
due to colonization and assimilation policies, revitalization efforts continue through education, documentation, and
community initiatives. The study of American Indian languages not only preserves cultural identity but also contributes
to broader understanding of human language diversity and its role in shaping thought and society.
