Their langusge wss one of the great
independent Indian tongues, seperate
and distinct from any other language,
Most of tbe other western tribes had a

Cayoae Igngoage was one of the origin

purity to that of the Iroquois, In the
East or tbe Cherokee in tbe South.
"The Walla Wallas and Umatlllas

river and bad not a pur tribal tongue,
but spoke a mongrel language, made
up from all the tribe with which they
had come In oontaot.
