The Paiute language is a Native American language spoken by the Paiute people, primarily in the western United States, including regions of Nevada, Utah, and California. It belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family, which includes several other languages spoken by indigenous groups in the Americas. There are several dialects of the Paiute language, such as Northern Paiute and Southern Paiute. Efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize the language, as it is considered endangered due to the decline in fluent speakers. Language revitalization programs aim to teach younger generations and maintain cultural heritage.
