Uto-Aztecan

Major group of American Indian languages belonging to the Aztec-Tanoan family of Central America and western and southwestern USA. Branches include Nahuatalan, the language of the Aztec, spoken by over a million ethnic Nahuatl in Mexico; the related Cahitan dialects of the Yaqui and O'odham languages of the Pima and Tohono O'odham (or Papago); and the Numic languages that dominate the Great Basin, southern Great Plains, and southwest USA, spoken by the Hopi, Shoshone, Comanche, Ute, and Paiute.

The Bannock people speak a Uto-Aztecan and Algonquian mix particular to the Great Basin.
