Adai

North American Language Families

Adai is an extinct Native American language once spoken in northwestern Louisiana, known only from a list of 275 words recorded by the American agent John Sibley in 1804. It was at one time thought to belong to the Caddoan family, but the surviving documentation is too limited to confirm any relationship, so it is generally treated as unclassified and possibly a language isolate.
