Zuni Language
Zuni (also formerly Zuñi, endonym ) is a language of the Zuni people, indigenous to western New Mexico and eastern Arizona in the United States. It is spoken by around 9,500 people, especially in the vicinity of Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, and much smaller numbers in parts of Arizona.

Edmund Ladd reported in 1994 that Zuni is still the main language of communication in the pueblo and is used in the home (Newman 1996). The Zuni name for their own language, ' (''shiwi'' "Zuni" + ''-ʼma'' "vernacular"; pronounced ) can be translated as "Zuni way", whereas its speakers are collectively known as ''ʼA:shiwi'' (''ʼa:(w)-'' "plural" + ''shiwi'' "Zuni").

Per capita income is often used to measure a sector's average income and compare the wealth of different populations. Per capita income is also often used to measure a country's standard of living.
