Mojave language
Mojave (also Mohave) is the native language of the Mohave people along the Colorado River in southeastern California, northwestern Arizona, and southwestern Nevada. Approximately 70% of the speakers reside in Arizona, while approximately 30% reside in California. Mojave belongs to the River branch of the Yuman language family, together with Quechan and Maricopa.
Mojave language became endangered during the 20th century when Mohave children were taken away from their parents to be raised in boarding schools, where they were prohibited to speak the language. They were prohibited from speaking it with their parents when they were on occasional visits home, in spite of many parents speaking no English.〔Penfield, S. D. (2005). Mohave remembered.

==Phonology==
All claims and examples in this section come from Munro (1974) unless otherwise noted. Mohave phonology is similar to that of Maricopa. One difference is that sometime in the 19th century Mohave speakers shifted the sounds () and (similar to sh as in "shack") to (th as in "thick") and (), respectively.〔Munro, P. (1976).
