Best Answer

"Sioux" is not the name of a single tribe, but a collection of many tribes grouped by their dialect: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota. So for example the Wahpekute Sioux tribe spoke Dakota; the Yanktonai Sioux tribe spoke Nakota and the Oglala Sioux tribe spoke Lakota.

These dialects are very closely related, but for example words containing an L sound in Lakot typically have an N in Nakota and a D in Dakota. Lakota kola (friend) is the same word as Dakota koda.
