Sanan Language
A number of languages of North America are too poorly attested to classify. These include Adai, Beothuk, Calusa, Cayuse, Karankawa, and Solano. There are other languages which are scarcely attested at all. Campbell et al. Lyle Campbell ''et al.'' (2007) list the following extinct and nearly unattested language varieties of North America as unclassifiable due to lack of data. *Eyeish *Coree *Sewee *Cusabo * Shoccoree-Eno (see Eno people and Shakori) *Pascagoula *Quinipissa *Opelousa * Pedee *Bayogoula * Okelousa * Congaree * Winyaw (see Winyaw) * Santee (see Santee tribe; distinguish Santee Sioux) * Okchai-Chacato (see Okchai, Chatot people) *Tequesta *Guale * Sanan *Yamasee *Akokisa *Avoyel * Tocobaga (see Tocobaga) * Houma * Neusiok (see Neusiok people) * Ubate * Cape Fear * Pensacola (see Pensacola people) *Bidai * Wateree (see Wateree people) * Mobile *Michigamea * Pakana * Saxapahaw * Keyauwee *Guachichil†* Suma-Jumano†(see Suma & Jumanos) * Huite†* Conchoâ ...

Unclassified Language
An unclassified language is a language whose genetic affiliation to other languages has not been established. Languages can be unclassified for a variety of reasons, mostly due to a lack of reliable data but sometimes due to the confounding influence of language contact, if different layers of its vocabulary or morphology point in different directions and it is not clear which represents the ancestral form of the language. Some poorly known extinct languages, such as Gutian and Cacán, are simply unclassifiable, and it is unlikely the situation will ever change. A supposedly unclassified language may turn out not to be a language at all, or even a distinct dialect, but merely a family, tribal or village name, or an alternative name for a people or language that is classified. If a language's genetic relationship has not been established after significant documentation of the language and comparison with other languages and families, as in the case of Basque in Europe, it is ...

Pedee Language
The Pedee people, also Pee Dee and Peedee, were a historic Native American tribe of the Southeastern United States. Historically, their population has been concentrated in the Piedmont of present-day South Carolina. It is believed that in the 17th and 18th centuries, English colonists named the Pee Dee River and the Pee Dee region of South Carolina for the tribe. Today four state-recognized tribes, one state-recognized group, and several unrecognized groups claim descent from the historic Pedee people. Presently none of these organizations are recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, with the Catawba Indian Nation being the only Native American recognition in the United States, federally recognized tribe within South Carolina. Etymology The precise meaning of the name ''Pedee'' is unknown. The name has many variations, having been alternatively spelled as ''Pee Dee'', ''PeeDee'', ''Peedee'', ''Peedees'', ''Peadea'', and ''Pidee''. In early Spanish accounts the name is rendere ...
