The Iroquoian language family is a group of Native American languages primarily spoken by the Iroquois people in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. This family includes languages such as Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. These languages share common linguistic features and are known for their complex grammatical structures.
Iroquoian languages are characterized by their use of prefixes and suffixes, which modify the meanings of words. They also have a unique system of verb conjugation that reflects the subject and object of a sentence. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and revitalize these languages, as many speakers are aging and younger generations are less fluent.
