The Winnebago language (Hocąk) is the traditional language of the Ho-Chunk (or Winnebago) tribe of Native Americans in the United States. The language is part of the Siouan language family, and is closely related to the languages of the Iowa, Missouri, and Oto.
The language can be written using the "Pa-Pe-Pi-Po" syllabics. As of 1994, the official alphabet of the Ho-Chunk Nation is an adaptation of the Latin script.
