 ** In 2002, Rosebud Cultural Studies teacher Randy Emery argued that standardization of the language could cause problems "because the language is utilized diversely. If standardization is determined to be the approach... then the question is whose version will be adopted? This will cause dissent and politics to become a factor in the process."
 * The agglutinative morphology of the language made grammar analysis difficult, and in building our morphological analyser we found it difficult to isolate parts of speech and matching inputs to outputs
 * We especially found the use of postpositions in Lakota difficult to work with and incorporate into our analyser, as they are contextually dependent and we were unable to isolate them as parts of speech or analyse them separate from their occurrence in sentences

		+	* Men and women’s speech differ through the use of eight enclitics
		+	* There are two paradigms for verb inflection: (1) set of morphemes indicates the person and number of the subject of active verbs and (2) set of morphemes agrees with the object of transitive action verbs or the subject of stative verbs.
