Southern Paiute (southern Utah and Nevada) is spoken in 10 widely separated communities in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. The 5 Utah communities constitute the Paiute Tribe of Utah and have a total population of about 600. The San Juan Paiute Tribe is settled on the Navajo Reservation in Utah and Arizona and has a population of 220. The Kaibab Paiute Tribe, with a reservation north of the Grand Canyon, has a population of 212. The 3 southern Nevada tribes (Moapa, Las Vegas, and Pahrump) have a combined population of over 400.
