Not only did I get my answer vis à vis "Lakota" (and "Dakota" to boot), but I've now discovered a full course covering an introduction to the fascinating Lakota language.

By the fourth term, I asked if I could join Italian, they said I would need to catch up and that there was no point.

These forms are from perspective (reflection of the moon). Lakota I stand in the middle of the spacial field. Nakota I lie down and embrace the spacial field. Dakota I wind through the spacial field. Thus stone (i), breath (ni) and star (wi) depending where you are in the cosmology along the Trail of the connected consciousness, as you say, what community you came from. Pilamyeye wohpila tatanka (thank you, a great equality), as we all have a slice (needles, He Sapa, Paha Sapa, Ska Sapa, the BlackHills ) of the universe. Also noticed four names for the same meaning (character, oral narration) for the four directions as I often sing it this way, as well as others who write down this way. Three directions is a yellow bird that flies into the "reflection" (point of view), a dreamer reveals. "Ozuyeya Ig'lamna or Legends of the Counter Attacking Journeys. The Ozuyeya Iglama became the principle task of the Ikce (common man)~ Some of the travelers would return home, new ones would join the journey. At times, a few grew tired of traveling and remained in the lands they liked. At other times, some of the people from nations that were visited, would join the Ikce (Black Hills Steering Committee) I bow. Love and blessings.

I come from the town of Västerås in when I grew up we had one dialect in this town and just 20 miles away we hade a least two other dialects ... lots of local words, still the same language .... problems when spelling and writing in a language turn too phonetic and we can never decide what is the correct spelling. Swedish has a superficially phonetic spelling but lot of crazy remnants from 17th century or earlier .... well, one language, and just one correct way of spelling and that is written in 'stone' by the Swedish Academy, and I think it should be simple for those who grew up with the language. But of course, if you are in a situation where lotsa ppl dont know how to speak, then of course a phoneticly based system is good

I have a question. In the example with Unci-la and Hokshicala - "La" was used as to saying "that person is very loved by me or it´s very special for me" but then we have the word "itunkala" which also ends in la ---- Clearly not the same. Can you explain that for me, please?

Hello! My name is Carlos from Spain and I am looking for good books to learn Lakota language! I am very interesting in that culture and I would like to learn that language. Maybe you can recommend me some books for self study. Thanks a lot!!!
