about Cheyenne
Cheyenne is a Plains Algonquian language spoken in Montana and Oklahoma (read the Ethnologue report). It is an endangered language, with only around 1,500 remaining speakers (2000 census).
Cheyenne is a polysynthetic, mainly agglutinative language with `templatic' verbal morphology. I am in the process of writing up an overview of Cheyenne grammar, and will post it here soon.
In the meantime, more information about Cheyenne can be found at the Cheyenne Language Website.
