The Yuman language family is a group of indigenous languages primarily spoken in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. This family includes languages such as Quechan, Cocopah, and Havasupai, which are used by various Native American tribes. Yuman languages are known for their complex verb structures and rich phonetic systems. They are part of a larger linguistic area that shares features with neighboring language families, reflecting the historical interactions among different cultures in the region. Efforts are ongoing to preserve these languages as they face challenges from declining speaker populations.
