ELF #1: Seneca

The Seneca language belongs to the Iroquoian language family of North America. It is spoken by the Seneca tribe, most of whom live in western New York and others in Oklahoma. It is estimated that only 100 or so native speakers remain, however there has been a huge push recently to revitalize the language. Senecas young and old can learn the language in the schools on the Seneca reservations.  Links for more Info:  native-languages.org wikipedia article on the language  mingolanguage.org (mingo is actually a dialect of Seneca spoken in Oklahoma.
