The Comanche Indians lived in areas including the Great Plains, California, Canada, France, and Kansas. They hunted buffalo with spears and used horses for transportation and hunting. The chief of the tribe had a special feathered staff used in ceremonies. They lived in teepees made of animal skins or hides. The Comanche language is similar to Shoshone but less mutually intelligible due to consonant changes. Efforts are being made to preserve the endangered Comanche language spoken by elderly members of the tribe.

9. Comanche (pronounced /kəˈmæntʃiː/) is a Uto-Aztecan language spoken by the Comanche people, who split off from the Shoshone soon after they acquired horses in around 1705. The Comanche language and the Shoshoni language are therefore quite similar, although certain low-level consonant changes in Comanche have inhibited mutual intelligibility.[1][2]The name "Comanche" comes from the Ute word kɨmmantsi meaning "enemy, stranger".[3] Their own name for the language is nʉmʉtekwapʉ which means "language of the people".[4]Although efforts are now being made to ensure its survival, most speakers of the language are elderly, and less than one percent of the Comanche people can speak the language. In the late 19th century, Comanche children were placed in boarding schools where they were discouraged from speaking their native language, and even severely punished for doing so. The second generation then grew up speaking English, because of the belief that it was better for them not to know Comanche.The Comanche language was briefly prominent during World War II. A group of seventeen young men referred to as the Comanche Code Talkers were trained and used by the U.S. Army to send messages conveying sensitive information in the Comanche language so that it could not be deciphered by the enemyComanche symbols in words
