Unlike other Southwestern tribes, the Zuni language is unrelated to other Native American tongues and considered an âisolate.â It should be noted that the Zuni Indians later adopted words from Hopi and Pima tribes to describe certain religious observances and ceremonies.
The native name for Zuni is Shiwi or Shiwi'ma (the Zuni way) and the Zuni call themselves A:shiwi. The language is spoken by people of all ages, including children, is the main language of communication in the Zuni Pueblo, and is used in the home. Ways of writing Zuni with the Latin alphabet have been devised by a number of linguists and anthropologists, including Stanley Newman and Dennis Tedlock.
