Catawban languages
The Eastern Siouan branch consists of various historical languages spoken by Siouan peoples of the Appalachian Plateau and Piedmont regions of present-day Virginia and the Carolinas. These languages are sometimes collectively referred to as Catawban. Eastern Siouan languages were historically spoken by the Catawba and Waccamaw people. They possibly represent a dialect continuum with Ohio Valley Siouan languages (Ofo language/Mosopelea, Biloxi language). The Catawban family is a branch of the larger Siouan–Catawban language family.
