Tewa is a Kiowa-Tanoan language spoken in distinct local varieties at seven Pueblos in northern New Mexico and Arizona. These include Santa Clara, San Juan, San Ildefonso, Nambe, Tesuque, and Pojoaque in New Mexico, and in Arizona the village of Hano on the First Mesa at Hopi. There are approximately 1,200 speakers of Tewa in the New Mexico Pueblos out of a total enrollment of approximately 4,500. There are about 300 additional speakers at Hano, where at least some children are acquiring the language. At San Juan, the largest of the New Mexico Tewa Pueblos, as few as 30 fully fluent speakers remain in a population of about 2,000; most adults are semi-speakers, and no children are acquiring Tewa.
