Miami or Miami-Illinois is a member of the Algic branch of the Algonquian family. It was once spoken in parts of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio, and in parts of Oklahoma until the 1962. Since the 1990s efforts have been made, particularly by the Myaamia Project in Oklahoma, to revive the language.
An MA linguistics thesis on the syntax of the Miami language by David Costas was the first coherent analytical account of the language. Costas also learned the language himself and taught it to his wife and children, the youngest of whom grew up with Miami as their first language. Two other families did the same thing, the language is taught at Miami University, and Miami language summer camps have been set up.
