Picuris language
Picuris (also Picurís) is a language of the Northern Tiwa branch of Tanoan spoken in Picuris Pueblo, New Mexico.
Picuris is partially mutually intelligible with Taos dialect, spoken at Taos Pueblo. It is slightly more distantly related to Southern Tiwa (spoken at Isleta Pueblo and Sandia Pueblo).
Picuris has 6 vowels. Picuris also has nasalized counterparts for each vowel.
Picuris has three degrees of stress: primary, secondary, and unstressed. Stress affects the phonetic length of syllable rimes (lengthening the vowel or the syllable-final sonorant consonant).
Additionally, there are three tones: high, mid, and low — the mid tone being the most frequent.
Two sentences with interlinear glosses:
ˌʔìˈʔīˌnẽ́
