Definition: Absaroka is an Indian language spoken by the people living in the state of Montana, United States. It is a highly complex language that has evolved through contact with many languages. The word "absaroka" is derived from the words "ab-sarok", which are related to aboriginal people in North America and have been adopted by the language for its phonetic similarity to the name of a Native American tribe known as the Cheyenne. The abbreviation "ABSO-ROK" was introduced in 1984. The word "Absaroka" has several meanings: 1. "Aboriginal Name": This is the name of a specific tribal group, often associated with certain beliefs and practices that the speaker holds dear. 2. "African American": This term can refer to people of African descent who have adopted English-language names or become citizens of the United States and are known by their last name rather than their full first and middle names. The word "Absaroka" is used in various contexts, including literature, art, music, dance, and even in politics. It often refers to the state of Montana in the United States, which was named after a Native American chief named Absara.
