This is a compilation of notes from the Northern Paiute language program taught at the University of Nevada by Ralph Burns. It describes the Pyramid Lake dialect, though supplementary notes may sometimes refer to other dialects.

Notes on orthography

Pyramid Lake uses the Wycliffe writing system, which is designed to resemble English orthography. For my own convenience, I use an orthography closer to that found in the Northern Paiute-Bannock Dictionary (Powell, Glenda, et al. University of Utah Press, 2012). Wycliffe representations are also provided (usually) for compatibility with Pyramid Lake publications and coursework.
