          • Description : Wichita belongs to the North Caddoan branch of the Caddoan family. Other North Caddoan languages are Pawnee, Arikara, and Kitsai; the only other language in the family is Caddo. Wichita is spoken in the southern plains of the US, in Oklahoma.

There were about 8 living speakers in 2002.
