Mono language (California)
Mono is a Native American language of the Numic group of Uto-Aztecan languages, the ancestral language of the Mono people. Mono consists of two dialects, ''Eastern'' and ''Western''. The name "Monachi" is commonly used in reference to Western Mono and "Owens Valley Paiute" in reference to Eastern Mono.〔 In 1925, Alfred Kroeber estimated that Mono had 3,000 to 4,000 speakers. Today, only about 40 elderly people speak Mono as their first language.〔 It is classfied as critically endangered by Unesco.〔http://www.unesco.org/culture/languages-atlas/index.php〕 It is spoken in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains, the Mono Basin, and the Owens Valley of central-eastern California. Mono is most closely related to Northern Paiute; these two are classified as the Western group of the Numic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family.〔("Mono." ) ''Survey of California and Other Indian Languages, University of California, Berkeley.'' 2009-2010 (retrieved 6 May 2010)〕〔Sheldon Klein. 1959.

==Western Mono==
The number of Native speakers in 1994 ranged from 37 to 41. The majority of speakers are from the Northfork Rancheria and Auberry, California. The Big Sandy Rancheria and Dunlap, California have from 12 to 14 speakers.〔 The Northfork Mono are developing a dictionary, and both they and the Big Sandy Rancheria provide language classes. While not all are completely fluent, about 100 members of Northfork have "some command of the language."〔Hinton, 31〕 In the late 1950s, Lamb compiled a dictionary and grammar of Northfork Mono.〔Miller 101〕 The Western Mono language has a number of Spanish loanwords dating to the period of Spanish colonization of the Californias,〔Paul V. Kroskrity and Gregory A. Reinhardt. 1985. On Spanish Loans in Western Mono International Journal of American Linguistics Vol. 51, No. 2 (Apr., 1985), pp. 231-237〕 as well as loanwords from Yokuts and Miwok〔Loether, Christopher. 1998. "Yokuts and Miwok Loan Words in Western Mono" in The Life of Language: Papers in Linguistics in Honor of William Bright. Jane H. Hill, P. J. Mistry, Lyle Campbell (eds).
