Plains Apache is most closely related to other Southern Athabaskan languages like [[Navajo language|Navajo]], [[Chiricahua|Chiricahua Apache]], [[Mescalero|Mescalero Apache]], [[Lipan Apache people|Lipan Apache]], [[Western Apache language|Western Apache]], and [[Jicarilla Apache]]. Plains Apache is the most divergent member of the subfamily. These speakers probably left their northern homeland later than the other Southern Athabaskan peoples. The language is extremely [[endangered language|endangered]] with perhaps only one native speaking elder.
