Oneida (/ˈndə/ oh-NYE-də,[2] autonym: /onʌjotaʔaːka/,[3][4] /onʌjoteʔaːkaː/,[5] People of the Standing Stone,[5] Latilutakowa,[6] Ukwehunwi,[5] Nihatiluhta:ko[5]) is an Iroquoian language spoken primarily by the Oneida people in the U.S. states of New York and Wisconsin, and the Canadian province of Ontario. There is only a small handful of native speakers remaining today. Language revitalization efforts are in progress.

In 1994, the majority of Oneida speakers lived in Canada.[7]
