Hokan-Siouan is one of the families of North American Indian languages. It was originally proposed by the linguist Edward Sapir, as one of his "superstocks." It includes a number of languages, distributed among the following branches: Hokan, Iroquoian, Muskogean, Siouan-Yuchi, and Tunican. Hokan includes Karok and the Pomoan and Yuman languages. Iroquoian includes the Northern Iroquoian languages Huron and those of the "Five Nations," plus Cherokee. Best known of the Muskogean languages are Seminole and Natchez. Siouan-Yuchi includes Yuchi and Siouan- Caddoan. The latter includes Caddo, Pawnee, and the various Siouan languages. The Tunican languages are all now extinct.
