Catawban languages

The Eastern Siouan branch consists of various historical languages spoken by Siouan peoples of the Appalachian Plateau and Piedmont regions of present-day Virginia and the Carolinas. These languages are sometimes collectively referred to as Catawban, Tutelo, Tutelo-Saponi, or Yesah (Yesa:sahį). Eastern Siouan languages were historical spoken by the Monacan Indian Nation, Haliwa-Saponi, Catawba/Iswa, Occaneechi, and Waccamaw peoples. They possibly represent a dialect continuum with Ohio Valley Siouan languages (Ofo language/Mosopelea, Biloxi language). The Catawban family is a branch of the larger Siouan a.k.a. Siouan–Catawban family.
