| Shoshoni and
Mono are from the same language family, the Numic
family.
That is why the numbers in the two languages look somewhat similar. Hopi and
Cahuilla are more distantly related to Shoshoni. Mono is spoken in central
California; (Sources: A Dictionary of Western Mono, by Bethel et al., Anthropology Department, Idaho State University, 1993; Lessons in Hopi, by Milo Kaectaca, University of Arizona Press, 1978; Chem'ivillu' (Let's Speak Cahuilla), by Katherine Siva Saubel and Pamela Munro, American Indian Studies Center, UCLA, 1981.) |
