Regional variation

Sioux has 3 major regional varieties, with various sub-lects:
# 'Santee' (a.k.a. Dakota)
#
★ Santee
#
★ Sisseton
# 'Yankton' (a.k.a. Yankton-Yanktonai, Nakota)
#
★ Yankton
#
★ Yanktonai
# 'Lakota' (a.k.a. Lakhota, Teton, Teton Sioux)
#
★ Northern Lakota
#
★ Southern Lakota
Dakotan languages/varieties are often classified according to their reflexes of Proto-Siouan ''
★ R'' (some r-like sound, but distinct from Proto-Siouan ''
★ r''). Santee and Yankton-Yanktonai are both 'd' varieties (showing a reflex of ''d'' for ''
★ R'', and thus pronouncing their autonym as ''dak^hóta''), while Lakota is a 'l' variety (pronouncing their autonym ''Lak^hóta'').
