Omaha–Ponca language
Omaha–Ponca is a Siouan language spoken by the Omaha (''Umoⁿhoⁿ'') people of Nebraska and the Ponca (''Paⁿka'') people of Oklahoma and Nebraska. The two dialects differ minimally but are considered distinct languages by their speakers.〔Rudin & Shea (2006) "Omaha–Ponca", in the ''Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics''〕
== Use and revitalization efforts ==
There are today only 60 speakers of Omaha, and 25 fluent speakers, all over 60; and a handful of semi-fluent speakers of Ponca.
The University of Nebraska offers classes in the Omaha language, and its Omaha Language Curriculum Development Project (OLCDP) provides Internet-based materials for learning the language. A February 2015 article gives the number of fluent speakers as 12, all over age 70, which includes two qualified teachers; the Tribal Council estimates about 150 people have some ability in the language. The language is taught at the Umónhon Nation Public School. An Omaha Basic iPhone app has been developed by the Omaha Nation Public Schools (UNPS) and the Omaha Language Cultural Center (ULCC). Members of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma have expressed an interest in partnerships to use the languae as a basis of revitalizing the Osage language, which is similar.〔
