Question

The term “Nez Perce” comes from a ___ term meaning “Pierced Nose.”

Answer 1

Answer:

Nez Perce derives from the French term "nez percé," "pierced nose." Its native to United States.

Explanation:

Nez Percé (also referred to as Nimipuutímt) is a Saha'a language related to the different dialects of Sahaptin, and is also spellated Nimiypuutímt (Nimiipuutímt, Niimiipuutímt, or Niimi'ipuutímt). Nez Perce derives from the French term "nez percé," "pierced nose," but Nez Perce, who is called "the men" by himself, did not pierce the nose, because it was a misunderstanding on the part of the French, since the tribes surrounding him. Nez Perce is a language that is highly endangered. The exact numbers of fluent speakers vary from sources but are almost certainly below 100. In a language reform project, the Nez Perce tribe members seek to reintroduce the language into their native use but (as at 2015) the future of the Nez Perce language has been far from guaranteed.
