Adai (also Adaizan, Adaizi, Adaise, Adahi, Adaes, Adees, Atayos) is the name of a Native American people of northwestern Louisiana and northeastern Texas with a Southeastern culture. The name ''Adai'' is derived from the Caddo word ''hadai'' meaning 'brushwood'.〔Thomas N. Campbell, "HAQUI INDIANS," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed July 12, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 The Adai were among the first peoples in North America to experience European contact—and were profoundly affected. In 1530 Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca wrote of them using the name ''Atayos''. The Adai subsequently moved away from their homeland. By 1820, there were only thirty persons remaining. Their language is possibly Caddoan, but it remains unclassified due to a lack of attestation. ==References== an:Adai br:Adaieg de:Adai es:Adai eu:Adai hizkuntza ru:Адаи sh:Adai 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adai people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
