The Utian languages are a small family of Native American languages primarily spoken in the western United States. This language family includes languages such as Washoe, Mono, and Northern Paiute. These languages are mainly found in regions of Nevada, California, and Oregon. Utian languages are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features, which distinguish them from neighboring language families. They are part of the broader Numic languages, which also includes languages like Southern Paiute and Shoshone. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and revitalize these languages, as many speakers are elderly and the number of fluent speakers is declining.
