Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Keres
We have included ten basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all
the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing")
the way English and French do.

Keresan Word Sets
Not all Pueblo people agree on whether Keres should be a written language or not. See
this page for an interesting
discussion of this topic by a Keres speaker. On our page, we have only included vocabulary words
from Keres-speaking pueblos who are teaching their language as a written language in tribal schools
today.
