Lower Tanana (also Tanana and/or Middle Tanana) is an endangered language spoken in Interior Alaska in the lower Tanana River villages of Minto and Nenana. Of about 380 Tanana people in the two villages, about 30 still speak the language. As of 2010, "Speakers who grew up with Lower Tanana as their first language can be found only in the 250-person village of Minto." It is one of the large family of Athabaskan languages, also known as Dené. The Athabaskan (or Dené) bands who formerly occupied a territory between the Salcha and the Goodpaster rivers spoke a distinct dialect that linguists term the Middle Tanana language. == Dialects == *Toklat area dialect: (''Tutlʼot'') *Minto Flats-Nenana River dialect: Minto (''Menhti'') and Nenana (''Nina Noʼ '') *Chena River dialect: Chena Village (''Chʼenoʼ '') *Salcha River dialect: Salcha (''Sol Chaget'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lower Tanana language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
