Konkow language
The Konkow language (also called Concow-Maidu, Northwestern Maidu — or ''Koyoomk'awi'', in the language itself) is a part of the Maiduan language group. The word ''koyoo'' means, "meadow", with the additional 'm' being the adjective form of the word. 'Koyoo+ (adj. ) k'awi + (adj. ) Ma'a ().' It is, or was, spoken in California. It is severely endangered or perhaps extinct, as only two or three persons remained who spoke it as a first language in the 1990s. As part of an effort to regain official recognition of one of the Konkow groups as an officially recognized tribe from the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, an effort to provide language instruction amongst the descendants of the original tribe and affiliated family members has begun.
==Dialects==
One source supports the claim that Konkow had at least 9 dialects, designated today according to the locality in which each was spoken. These dialects were: Otaki; Mikchopdo; Cherokee; Eskeni; Pulga; Nemsu; Feather Falls; Challenge; and Bidwell Bar. Lexicon of each remains scant. In addition, there may have been many family variations within each dialect group; thus, certainly there was no one Konkow language, but Konkow means a phonologically distinct pronunciation from what is popularly defined as 'Maidu' or 'Mountain Maidu', namely in terms of stress patterns on lexicon. According to limited historical data, by the turn of the 19th century there were only four of these dialects still being spoken.
