Kitsai language
The Kitsai (also Kichai) language is an extinct member of the Caddoan language family.〔Sturtevant and Fogelson, 616〕 It was spoken in Oklahoma by the Kichai tribe and became extinct in the 1930s. It is thought to be most closely related to Pawnee.〔Sturtevant and Fogelson, 68〕〔("Kitsai: an extinct language of USA." ) ''Ethnologue.'' 2005 (retrieved 3 May 2010)〕 The Kichai people today are enrolled in the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi), Waco and Tawakonie), headquartered in Anadarko, Oklahoma.
==Documentation==
Kitsai is documented in the still mostly-unpublished field notes of anthropologist Alexander Lesser, of the Hofstra University. Lesser discovered five speakers of Kitsai in 1928-9 – none of whom spoke English – but working through Wichita/English bilingual translators, he filled 41 notebooks with Kitsai material.〔Bucca, Salvador and Alexander Lesser. ("Kitsai Phonology and Morphophonemics." ) The University of Chicago Press, 1969: 7〕
Kai Kai was the last fluent speaker of Kitsai. She was born around 1849 and lived eight miles north of Anadarko. Kai Kai worked with Lesser to record vocabulary and oral history and prepare a grammar of the language.〔("Science: Last of the Kitsai." ) ''Time Magazine.'' 27 June 1932 (retrieved 3 May 2010)〕
In the 1960s, Lesser shared his materials with Salvador Bucca of the Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires, and they published scholarly articles on Kitsai.〔
