1. Quechan (Yuma) - Spoken in Arizona and California

- Hello: Nya'a

- Thank you: Che'chxo

- Goodbye: Xavashuuk

2. Tlingit - Spoken in Alaska and British Columbia

- Hello: Yá'át'ééh

3. Potawatomi - Spoken in the Great Lakes region

- Hello: Bozho

- Thank you: Migwetch

It's important to note that these languages are critically endangered, and efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize them. Learning about and using these languages, even in small ways, can help raise awareness about linguistic diversity and the importance of language preservation.

Some ways to support these languages include:

1. Learning more about the cultures and histories of the people who speak them.

2. Supporting organizations dedicated to language preservation and revitalization.

3. Advocating for policies that protect and promote indigenous languages.

4. Sharing information about these languages with others to raise awareness.

Remember, when learning or using phrases from these languages, it's crucial to do so respectfully and to acknowledge the cultural context they come from. If you're interested in learning more about any specific language or culture, let me know!
