Zuñi er eit urfolkspråk i USA som blir tala av zuñifolk frå vestlege New Mexico og austlege Arizona. Det har rundt 9 500 talarar, særleg rundt Zuni Pueblo i New Mexico.

Skrift

endre

Zuñi blir skrive med latinsk skrift. Zuñialfabetet har 18 bokstavar:

A, B, D, CH, E, H, I, K, L, Ł, M, N, O, P, S, T, U, W, Y

Bokstaven Ł, ł uttrykker lyden /ɬ/ (IPA, uttalt som h og l saman). Ein bruker ti la uttrykk /ʔ/ (glottal plosiv) i midten og slutten, men ikkje først i ord.

I tillegg til ch finst det også fleire bokstavkombinasjonar.

Bokstavane c, r, g, v, z, x, q, f j er ikkje brukt i zuñi, men kan brukast til å skriva lånord.

Zuñiortografien blei i stor grad utarbeidd av Curtis Cook. Det finst også eldre ortografiar laga av språkforskarar og antropologar.
