Language

Pónka Íye-the! The Ponca Language

Need help saying the words? Hear audio recordings on the PTN website at

poncatribe-ne.tv/category/language/ and refer to the pronunciation guide

on this page.

Our Ponca words have been color coded with the corresponding English

word. As you can see, English is most of the time backwards to Ponca. And

remember, our Ponca words have more meaning than what English words

can approximate. So, just because the Ponca word(s) is used for a English

word in one sentence doesn’t always mean it will be used for that English

word in all sentences.
