Hopi language
Hopi (Hopi: ''Hopílavayi'') is a Uto-Aztecan language spoken by the Hopi people (a Pueblo group) of northeastern Arizona, USA, although today some Hopi are monolingual English speakers.
The use of the language has gradually declined over the course of the 20th century. In 1990, it was estimated that more than 5,000 people could speak Hopi as a native language (approximately 75% of the population); at least 40 of them were monolingual in Hopi. The 1998 language survey of 200 Hopi people reflects the current state of the Hopi language: 100% of Hopi elders (60 years or older) are fluent, while fluency in adults (age 40-59) is only 84%, 50% in young adults (age 20-39), and 5% in children (age 2-19). Despite the apparent decline, Hopi and Navajo both are supported by bi-lingual education programs in Arizona and children acquire these Native American languages as their first language.〔http://azednews.com/2014/07/07/dual-language-programs-grow-in-arizona-public-schools/〕
== Teaching and language revitalization efforts ==
The Hopi people are teaching the children the language to be passed on for future generations.
Many Hopi children are being raised in the language. A comprehensive Hopi-English dictionary edited by Emory Sekaquaptewa and others has been published, and a group called the Hopi Literacy Project has focused its attention on promoting the language. As of 2013, "a pilot language revitalization project, the Hopi Lavayi Nest Model Program, for families with children birth through 5," is being planned for the village of Sipaulovi.
