Editing Keres language (section)

==Classification==
Keres is now considered a [[language isolate]]. In the past, [[Edward Sapir]] grouped it together with a [[Hokan languages|Hokan]]–Siouan stock. [[Morris Swadesh]] suggested a connection with [[Wichita language|Wichita]]. [[Joseph Greenberg]] grouped Keres with [[Siouan languages|Siouan]], [[Yuchi language|Yuchi]], [[Caddoan languages|Caddoan]], and [[Iroquoian languages|Iroquoian]] in a superstock called Keresiouan. None of these proposals has been validated by subsequent linguistic research.
