[phil cash cash]

tá'c 'aláXp (good day),

i am a younger speaker of nez perce (sahaptian) and am working on 
documenting and describing nez perce (2 dialects), sahaptin (15 
dialects) and cayuse (an extinct language isolate).  for those of you 
that do not know where these indigenous languages are located, they are 
located in the interior northwestern US, a region called the southern 
Columbia Plateau in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

all of these languages are endangered and may disappear in my lifetime.

Linguistics

ps: my name is from an ancestor named /yíix yix qash qásh/ 'speckled 
hawk' (in reference to the bird's breast) and when the government 
registered our names in the 1880's they could only spell it in limited 
english as "cash cash".
