The Konkow language (also called Concow-Maidu Northwestern Maidu — or Koyoomk’awi in the language itself) is a part of the Maiduan language group. The word koyoo means meadow with the additional ‘m’ being the adjective form of the word. ‘Koyoo+ [m adj.] k’awi + [m adj.] Ma’a [tribe].’ It is spoken in California and is a severely endangered language as only two or three persons remain who speak it as a first language are still living.
