Welcome to ToSpeakLakota.com

This site provides interactive tools designed to support learners of the Lakota language. The current modules — Lakota Kinship Terms and Lakota Sibling Terms — allow users to explore vocabulary, relationships, and cultural context through structured visual aids. Additional learning tools will be added as development continues.

While this site is created by a learner, every effort is made to present information with care and respect. It is not intended to replace fluent speakers, teachers, or community-based instruction, but to serve as a supplemental learning aid for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Lakȟótiyapi.
Lakota Kinship Terms
The Lakota langauge has many terms for kinship and some terms change depending on who the speaker is. This tool will help you find your specific terms.
Lakota Sibling Terms
