Plains Cree has become the
prestige dialect of Western Cree, largely because a considerable amount of nineteenthand
early twentieth-century religious literature was published in it, using the syllabic
script. In recent decades Plains Cree has been the dialect most often used in teaching

Speaker number is diminishing as social pressures increase to use English, leaving many Cree children without a fluent command of Cree. Monolingual Plains Cree speakers are still found, however, in the more rural Cree-speaking areas, such as the Cree territory's northern reaches. These populations, nevertheless, are primarily composed of elders and are continuously shrinking in size.
