Sioux is a Siouan language.
Sioux has 3 major regional varieties, with various sub-lects:
- Santee (a.k.a. Dakota)
- Yankton (a.k.a. Yankton-Yanktonai, Nakota)
- Lakota (a.k.a. Lakhota, Teton, Teton Sioux)
- Northern Lakota
- Southern Lakota
Dakotan languages/varieties are often classified according to their reflexes of Proto-Siouan *R (some r-like sound, but distinct from Proto-Siouan *r). Santee and Yankton-Yanktonai are both d varieties (showing a reflex of d for *R, and thus pronouncing their autonym as dakhóta), while Lakota is a l variety (pronouncing their autonym Lakhóta).
