Piro Pueblo language

Piro is a poorly attested, extinct Tanoan language once spoken in the more than twenty Piro Pueblos near Socorro, New Mexico.[3] It has generally been classified as one of the Tiwa languages,[4] though Leap (1971) contested that Piro is a Tanoan language at all.[5]

Not to be confused with Piro languages or Piro language (Peru).
