A Crow speaker.

Crow (native name: Apsáalooke [ə̀ˈpsâːɾòːɡè] or [ə̀ˈpsâːlòːɡè]) is a Missouri Valley Siouan language spoken primarily by the Crow Nation in present-day southeastern Montana. The word Apsáalooke translates to "Children of the Large Beaked Bird" (from apá 'beak/nose', isáa 'big', dooká 'child'), which was later incorrectly translated into English as 'Crow'.[3] It is one of the larger populations of American Indian languages with 4,160 speakers according to the 2015 US Census.[2]
