Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Saluma

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.

If you need to know an Saluma word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our Indian words fundraiser or visit our main Saluma language site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
