Language skills are often developed over a lifetime. But researchers on
the Myaamia at Miami University in Oxford have a more daunting task.
They work to restore and put into use a centuries-old language that
hasn't been spoken conversationally in nearly 45 years. It starts with
publication of a Miami language dictionary this spring. Miami Tribe
researchers vow to again make it a living language by teaching it to
English speaking Miami children.
