LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) – 7000 Languages and the Comanche Nation Language Department recently launched a new online course, with the goal of preserving and revitalizing the Comanche Language for future generations.
On November 30, 2024, 7000 Languages, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating free online language-learning tools for Indigenous and endangered languages, proudly announced the launch of a new Comanche Language course.
The course was developed in collaboration with the Comanche Nation Language Department.
This course offers learners the opportunity to explore and connect with the Comanche language, spoken by fewer than 50 individuals today.
The Comanche language, a member of the Central Numic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, shares close linguistic ties with Shoshone and Panamint.
The carefully developed course introduces the orthography adopted in 1993 and provides essential vocabulary for everyday communication, supporting both beginners and community members in their language-learning journey.
“Language is a vital link to culture, identity, and history,” said Stephanie Witkowski, Executive Director of 7000 Languages. “Through our partnership with the Comanche Nation Language Department, we hope to make the Comanche language accessible to Tribal members, as well as anyone who wants to learn, helping to preserve this invaluable heritage for future generations.”
The course is available for free at the 7000 Languages website.
Enrolled Comanche Tribal Members can access the course through the Comanche Nation website.
