Because they shared the Southern Numic language, the Chemehuevi to the east are considered the closest relatives to Kawaiisu.<br /> The remaining Kawaiisu speakers live in the Tehachapi area of California. The language is severely endangered, with perhaps fewer than 20 remaining speakers. <br /> Kawaiisu has a typical Numic vowel inventory of six vowels.<br /> Kawaiisu has an atypical Numic consonant inventory in that many of the predictable consonant alternations in other Numic languages are no longer predictable in Kawaiisu. The Kawaiisu consonant inventory, therefore is much larger than the typical Numic language.<br /> l and ŋ are only found in loanwords.&lt;i&gt;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=15219759 ..... full article at Wikipedia]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Location of Kawaiisu Language Speakers&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> http://llmap.org/languages/xaw/static_map.png?width=400&amp;height=300&amp;kilroywashere=.png<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=top align=right&gt; <br /> &lt;table valign=top&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;table&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Main Country: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;[http://www.freebase.com/view/en/united_states United States]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spoken In: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Regions: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;[http:///www.freebase.com/view/en/americas Americas] <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;ISO 639-3 Code: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;xaw&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Classification Taxonomy&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> [[All Languages]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Uto-Aztecan Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Northern Uto-Aztecan Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Numic Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Southern Numic Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;[[Kawaiisu Language]]&lt;/b&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> __NOTOC__</div>
