  INDIAN 
  LINGUISTIC 
  FAMILIES. 
  

  

  Derivation: 
  Probably 
  from 
  "tainin,'' 
  plural 
  of 
  ta-ide, 
  " 
  Indian," 
  

   in 
  the 
  dialect 
  of 
  Isleta 
  and 
  Sandia 
  (Gatschet). 
  

  

  In 
  a 
  letter 
  1 
  from 
  Win. 
  Carr 
  Lane 
  to 
  H. 
  R. 
  Schoolcraft, 
  appear 
  

   some 
  remarks 
  on 
  the 
  affinities 
  of 
  the 
  Pueblo 
  languages, 
  based 
  in 
  

   large 
  part 
  on 
  hearsay 
  evidence. 
  No 
  vocabularies 
  are 
  given, 
  nor 
  

   does 
  any 
  real 
  classification 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  attempted, 
  though 
  referring 
  

   to 
  such 
  of 
  his 
  remarks 
  as 
  apply 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  connection. 
  Lane 
  

   states 
  that 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  " 
  Taos. 
  Vicuris, 
  Zesuqua, 
  Sandia, 
  and 
  

   Ystete, 
  and 
  of 
  two 
  pueblos 
  of 
  Texas, 
  near 
  El 
  Paso, 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  speak 
  

   the 
  same 
  language, 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  heard 
  called 
  E-nagh-magh," 
  and 
  

   that 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  " 
  San 
  Juan, 
  Santa 
  Clara, 
  Pojuaque, 
  Nambe, 
  San 
  

   II 
  de 
  Conso, 
  and 
  one 
  Moqui 
  pueblo, 
  all 
  speak 
  the 
  same 
  language, 
  as 
  

   it 
  is 
  said: 
  this 
  I 
  have 
  heard 
  called 
  Tay-waugh." 
  The 
  ambiguous 
  

   nature 
  of 
  his 
  reference 
  to 
  these 
  pueblos 
  is 
  apparent 
  from 
  the 
  above 
  

   quotation. 
  

  

  The 
  names 
  given 
  by 
  Lane 
  as 
  those 
  he 
  had 
  " 
  heard 
  " 
  applied 
  to 
  

   certain 
  groups 
  of 
  pueblos 
  which 
  " 
  it 
  is 
  said 
  " 
  speak 
  the 
  same 
  lan- 
  

   guage, 
  rest 
  on 
  too 
  slender 
  a 
  basis 
  for 
  serious 
  consideration 
  in 
  a 
  classi- 
  

   ficatory 
  sense. 
  

  

  Keane 
  in 
  the 
  appendix 
  to 
  Stanford's 
  Compendium 
  (Central 
  and 
  

   South 
  America), 
  1878, 
  p. 
  479, 
  presents 
  the 
  list 
  given 
  by 
  Lane, 
  cor- 
  

   recting 
  his 
  spelling 
  in 
  some 
  cases 
  and 
  adding 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Tusayan 
  

   pueblo 
  as 
  Haro 
  (Hano). 
  He 
  gives 
  the 
  group 
  no 
  formal 
  family 
  

   name, 
  though 
  they 
  are 
  classed 
  together 
  as 
  speaking 
  " 
  Tegua 
  or 
  Tay- 
  

   waugh." 
  

  

  The 
  TaMo 
  of 
  Powell 
  (1878), 
  as 
  quoted, 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  first 
  

   name 
  formally 
  given 
  the 
  family, 
  and 
  is 
  therefore 
  accepted. 
  Recent 
  

   investigations 
  of 
  the 
  dialect 
  spoken 
  at 
  Taos 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  

   pueblos 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  show 
  a 
  considerable 
  body 
  of 
  words 
  having 
  

   Shoshonean 
  affinities, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  improbable 
  that 
  fur- 
  

   ther 
  research 
  will 
  result 
  in 
  proving 
  the 
  radical 
  relationship 
  of 
  these 
  

   languages 
  to 
  the 
  Shoshonean 
  family. 
  The 
  analysis 
  of 
  the 
  language 
  

   has 
  not 
  yet, 
  however, 
  proceeded 
  far 
  enough 
  to 
  warrant 
  a 
  decided 
  

   opinion. 
  

  

  GEOGRAPHIC 
  DISTRIBUTION. 
  

  

  The 
  tribes 
  of 
  this 
  family 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  resided 
  exclusively 
  

   upon 
  the 
  Rio 
  Grande 
  and 
  its 
  tributary 
  valleys 
  from 
  about 
  33° 
  to 
  

   about 
  36°. 
  A 
  small 
  body 
  of 
  these 
  people 
  joined 
  the 
  Tusayan 
  in 
  

   northern 
  Arizona, 
  as 
  tradition 
  avers 
  to 
  assist 
  the 
  latter 
  against 
  

   attacks 
  by 
  the 
  Apache 
  — 
  though 
  it 
  seems 
  more 
  probable 
  that 
  they 
  

   fled 
  from 
  the 
  Rio 
  Grande 
  during 
  the 
  pueblo 
  revolt 
  of 
  1680 
  — 
  and 
  re- 
  

   mained 
  to 
  found 
  the 
  permanent 
  pueblo 
  of 
  Hano, 
  the 
  seventh 
  pueblo 
  

   of 
  the 
  group. 
  A 
  smaller 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  lived 
  upon 
  the 
  Rio 
  

   Grande 
  in 
  Mexico 
  and 
  Texas, 
  just 
  over 
  the 
  New 
  Mexico 
  border.
