Definition

  • The Arapaho language or hinonoeitiit (also "Arapahoe Language" and hiinonoeitiit) is a Plains Algonquian language (an areal rather than genetic grouping) spoken almost entirely by elders in Wyoming, and to a much lesser extent in Oklahoma. It is in great danger of becoming extinct. As of 1996, there were approximately 1,000 speakers of the Northern Arapaho. In 2008, it was reported that a school had been opened to teach the language to children. 22 children are being taught there. The school was established as a matter of urgency, as no person aged under 55 was fluent in Arapaho at that point.
