Excerpt: Plains Cree (native name: nehiyawewin) is a dialect of the Algonquian language, Cree, which is the most common Canadian indigenous language. Plains Cree is sometimes considered a dialect of the Cree-Montagnais language, or sometimes a dialect of the Cree language, distinct from the Montagnais language. Plains Cree is one of five main dialects of Cree in this second sense, along with Woods Cree, Swampy Cree, Moose Cree, and Atikamekw. Although no single dialect of Cree is favored over another, Plains Cree is the most widely used.

This number is diminishing as social pressures increase to use English, leaving many Cree children without a fluent command of Cree. Monolingual Plains Cree speakers are still found, however, in the more rural Cree-speaking areas, such as the Cree territory s northern reaches. These populations, nevertheless, are primarily composed of elders and are continuously shrinking in size. The consonant inventory for Plains Cree contains 10 or 11 sounds. This includes the semi-vowels and , which are glides that act like and often follow consonants. The consonants of Plains Cree in the two standard writing systems, Cree syllabics and the Roman alphabet are listed in the following table (with IPA phonemic notation within slashes).

The status of the glottal stop, , as a phoneme in Plains Cree is uncertain.
