Omaha-Ponca is a Siouan language spoken by the Ponca and Omaha people of Nebraska and the Ponca people of Oklahoma. There are today only 60 speakers of Omaha, and 25 fluent speakers, all over 60, and a handful of semi-fluent speakers of Ponca.
According to the Ethnologue: "Ponca and Omaha are completely inherently intelligible to each other's speakers". In the Ethnologue's classification they are treated as a single language.
