Hidatsa is classified as Definitely Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger

Hidatsa /hɪˈdɑːtsə/[2] is an endangered Siouan language that is related to the Crow language. It is spoken by the Hidatsa tribe, primarily in North Dakota and South Dakota.

A description of Hidatsa-Mandan culture, including a grammar and vocabulary of the language, was published in 1877 by Washington Matthews, a government physician who lived among the Hidatsa at the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.[3]

More recently, the language has been the subject of work in the generative grammar tradition.[4]

In 2019, it was estimated that there were less than 65 fluent speakers of the language.[5]
