Adai language

Adai (also Adaizan, Adaizi, Adaise, Adahi, Adaes, Adees, Atayos) is an extinct Native American language that was spoken in northwestern Louisiana.

It was once proposed that there may be a connection between Adai and the nearby Caddoan languages, but this now seems unlikely.

[2] Adai is known only from a list of 275 words from 1804 by John Sibley.
