“A Grammar of 'Onk Akimel O'odham.” The ’Onk Akimel O’odham language, or simply O'odham, is one of the two languages (along with Piipaash/Maricopa) spoken by the Native American people of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC), one of several tribes neighboring ASU. O'odham is an endangered language. The community has undertaken intensive action to revitalize O'odham, with the aim of providing a rich set of learning tools for the next generation of speakers. This book project describes the grammatical structure of the O'odham language. In collaboration with SRPMIC, the aim of this project is to assist the community in their language revitalization efforts.
