Mohave Indian Language (Mojave)

Mojave is a Yuman language of the American Southwest, considered by some linguists to be a member of the larger Hokan language family. It is spoken by around 200 people in California and Arizona. The language has been in decline, but some young Mohaves are working to keep their ancestral language alive.
