Yankton-Yanktonai (Western Dakota) stands between Santee-Sisseton (Eastern Dakota) and Lakota within the dialect continuum. It is phonetically closer to Santee-Sisseton but lexically and grammatically it is much closer to Lakota. For this reason Lakota and Western Dakota are much more mutually intelligible than they are with Eastern Dakota. The assumed extent of mutual intelligibility is usually overestimated by speakers of the language. While Lakota and Yankton-Yanktonai speakers understand each other to a great extent, they each find it difficult to follow Santee-Sisseton speakers.

Sioux man tells stories and speaks in Lakota language
This man walked up to me outside of a gas station asked for beer, and announced that he was a "sioux indian," I asked him to tell me a story in Lakota, which he did in exchange for a cigarette and a beer.
It goes back and forth between Lakota and English, I don't know anything about the Lakota language, so if someone who speaks Lakota could translate, or even tell me what he's talking about that would be fantastic.
Thanks

Dances With Wolves (1990): Sioux (Lakota) Language Vs. Pawnee
Sioux (Lakota) language is a Siouan language spoken by the Sioux Nation (Lakota/Dakota) whereas Pawnee is a Caddoan language spoken by the Pawnee (South Bands & Skiri/Skidi).
They were traditional enemies on the Great Plains.
As you can hear, their languages are very different.
The hairstyle of Pawnee men is also associated with Siouan Osage and Iroquoian Mohawks.

Saving Rare Indigenous Language [Audio] | Science Nation
Non-invasive technology allows researchers to transfer recordings from thousands of decaying wax cylinders
Description: Optical scan technology is helping researchers at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, preserve audio of 78 indigenous California languages, most of which were recorded more than a century ago. The recordings are on approximately 2,700 wax cylinders that are now barely audible due to issues such as mold. These are the only known sound recordings for several of the languages, and in many other cases, the recordings include unique speech practices and otherwise unknown stories and songs.
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), linguist Andrew Garrett, digital librarian Erik Mitchell and anthropologist Ira Jacknis, all of UC Berkeley, are restoring...

White Guy Speaks Rare Native American Language, Shocks Locals
Go to https://buyraycon.com/xiaomanyc for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. I’ve always wanted to learn a Native American language, but it’s been extremely difficult to find anyone with whom I could learn as most indigenous American languages are considered critically endangered or extinct. So a couple months ago I was extremely excited to get in touch with someone who could teach me Navajo, the original language of the Navajo people who live mostly in the Navajo Nation located in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Less than 200,000 people speak Navajo in the entire world. Navajo is hands down the hardest language I’ve ever studied, with extremely challenging pronunciation and one of the most complex grammatical systems of any extant language. It’s so complex that the language was ...

Learning Lakota
Teacher Roger White Eyes works to ensure that his students at Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation learn Lakota, the native language for the Oglala Sioux people. "I tell my students, this language has a spirit," he says. "It's who you are as a Lakota person." ____________________

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), linguist Andrew Garrett, digital librarian Erik Mitchell and anthropologist Ira Jacknis, all of UC Berkeley, are restoring these recordings. The researchers are using a non-invasive optical scanning technique that was developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory physicists Carl Haber and Earl Cornell. The collaboration with Haber and Cornell is enabling the NSF-funded research team to transfer all 100 hours of audio content from the wax cylinders and improve the recordings, finally making it possible to figure out which language is being spoken and what's being said.
The rich Native American cultural collection will ultimately be accessible to indigenous communities as well as to the general public and scholars. The linguistic diversity of the world's estimated 7,000 languages is immense. Modern technologies like this one unlock the documentation to enable new community uses and scientific investigations.
For more information and access to available recordings, visit http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~garrett/archives.html.
This research was co-funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities; grant number PD-230659-15.
NSF support was provided by award #1500779, "Linguistic and ethnographic sound recordings from early twentieth-century California: Optical scanning, digitization, and access."

But even though many young people no longer speak the language, the older generation often still does, and so after a month of studying the language and me and my crew’s COVID vaccinations we flew out to New Mexico to find locals to practice with.
