The Sioux languages were not originally written languages, so there is no single,official spelling for any given Sioux word. Some Lakota and Dakota bands, tribes, and nations have different standardized orthographies (spelling systems) than others. Some Lakota and Dakota people prefer to use phonetic spelling. Others do not use a standardized orthography at all, but simply spell Sioux words as best they can using the English alphabet. Needless to say, this makes comparing different Sioux language websites rather difficult.
