pretty certain that the Monetons were Siouan but the identity of the Tomahittans
is more of a mystery. I have heard Yuchi and even Cherokee. From what I have
read, the Yuchi were thought to have been Siouan speakers, but now I’ve
heard them described as a linguistic isolate. What is the current thinking in
the linguistic community? I’m also interested in the
Dhegiha Sioux and their relationship with the </span></font><font color=black><span
