Vlaams
Belgian Dutch
Germanic
Dhegihan Siouan language closely related to Kansa, Quapaw, and Omaha-Ponca. It is one of the few Indigenous North American languages written in a purpose-built script of its own — the Osage script, 𐓏𐓘𐓻𐓘𐓻𐓟, an alphabet created by Herman Mongrain Lookout in 2006 and officially adopted by the Osage Nation in 2014, following in the tradition of Sequoyah's Cherokee syllabary.
