發展現狀
阿拉帕霍語現在是一種瀕危語言,在懷俄明州,只有250和1000將其作為日常交流用語,其中大部分是老年人。現在阿拉帕霍人正在積極在本族青少年內推行阿拉帕霍語復興活動。

阿拉帕霍人分兩大部族,北方部族和南方部族,北方部族生活在懷俄明州境內;南部部族生活在奧克拉荷馬州境內,他們稱自己為hinono' eiteen( 記“我們的人”)。

I went down there to Oklahoma with my brother in law Alonzo Moss.
I went down there to be with them.
When the Oklahoma people tell how they've lost our language, they are pitiful.
There aren't many who still speak it
