Quapaw |

- The Quapaw tongue belongs to the Dhegiha subdivision of the Siouan language family and is closely related to the Omaha, Osage, Kansa, and Ponca tribes, all of whom speak similar dialects. This is one of many reasons scholars agree that the Quapaw originally lived near or with the other Dhegiha Sioux.
