updated 7-12-2002 Pueblan (Macro-Penutian) comprises one sub-branch of the Numic sub- branch of the Uto-Aztecan sub-branch of the Aztec-Tanoan branch of the Macro- Penutian family of languages. Pueblan may be divided into Eastern Pueblo (which includes Keresan, Pipil, Piro, and the Tanoan languages Tewa, Tiwa, and Towa) and Western Pueblo (comprised of Hopi and Zuni). Frequently both historians and fictional writers have spoken of the Pueblo Indians, making the name sound parallel to the Navajo or another single tribe. But "pueblo" refers to their architecture -- the way these people built their homes and towns. The word in fact is Spanish for "town." In fact, several Pueblan languages were and still are are spoken by those who built "pueblos." Some authors use the name "Hopi" to embrace all the Pueblan languages, but in fact, Hopi is only one of these. Today there are 19 pueblos in New Mexico and 12 in Arizona. Keres, Tewa, Tiwa, Towa and Zuni are spoken in the various New Mexican pueblos, while all but one of the pueblos in Arizona speak Hopi; that one is Hano, where Towa is spoken. Historically, there were a number of other pueblos including Pecos (in New Mexico) -- Pecos was also Towa speaking. Scholars now generally believe that the Anasazi and Mogollon peoples were the forerunners of the modern Pueblo speakers. Included here are works about all or most of the Pueblan languages, or about one or more Pueblan languages which cannot be further identified. 979.004974 Cordell, Linda S C7944a Ancient Pueblo peoples. -- [S.l.] : St. Remy Press, 1994 Includes good discussion of the various Pueblan languages.
