Kansa language
Kansa is a Siouan language of the Dhegihan group once spoken by the Kaw people of Oklahoma. The last mother-tongue speaker, Walter Kekahbah, died in 1983.〔(Ranney, Dave. "Researchers try to preserve Indian languages." , accessed 8 Apr 2011 )〕

Pioneering anthropologist and linguist James Owen Dorsey collected 604 Kansa words in the 1880s and also made about 25,000 entries in a Kansa-English dictionary which has never been published.〔Unrau, William E. ''The Kansa Indians: A History of the Wind People, 1673-1873''. Norman: U of OK Press, 1971, p. 12〕 Dorsey also collected 24 myths, historical accounts, and personal letters from nine Kansa speakers.〔''Kaanze Weyaje: Kanza Reader''. Kanza Language Project, Kaw City, OK: Kaw Nation, 2010, p. xiii〕
In 1974, Linguist Robert L. Rankin met Kekahbah, Ralph Pepper (d. 1982), and Maud McCauley Rowe (d. 1978), the last surviving native speakers of Kansa. Rankin made extensive recordings of all three, especially Rowe, and his work over the next 31 years documented the language and helped the Kaw Nation to develop language learning materials.〔(Ranney, Dave. “Researchers try to preserve Indian languages.” ), accessed 12 Apr 2011〕
