What's new on our site today!
Welcome to our Tonkawa vocabulary page! Tonkawa is an indigenous language of Texas. Most linguists consider it a language isolate, not known to be related to any other language. We have included twenty basic Tonkawa words here, to compare with other American Indian languages. If you need to know a Tonkawa word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our American Indian words fundraiser or visit our main Tonkawa language site for more free resources.
