History
History can provide context for the language: who we are, the valley we call home, where the language sits in the larger Numic family, the knowledge it carries, and the work of keeping it alive. The Grammar and Vocabulary sections are the "how" and "what" of the language. This section is the "who," "where," and "why."
- The Nüümü and Payahuunadü: We, the people and our homeland in Payahuunadü (the Owens Valley).
- The Language: Owens Valley Paiute within Mono and the Numic branch of Uto-Aztecan, and a note on the writing system.
- Revitalization and the Kubishi Dictionary: how OVP is documented and taught today, and the dictionary that powers this site's word links.
