Official language

Re infobox-item language: Sioux is not an official language, as the given reference does not support this claim. Sioux has been declared "the official indigenous language" of SD, but that is not the same as an official language. It is just a ceremonious declaration, like state bird or state fossil. Were it an official language, one could walk into each and any state office in SD and demand to be served in Sioux language. As it is all over Canada in any federal office or in Quebec in any office with French. Been there, tried that. I drove into a camp-ground deep in the wood of Alberta, CA speaking French. The attending person called an colleague, who spoke much better French than I do and served me very courteous. Try that in any SD office ... Please correct the information, I tried twice but got reverted each time. --h-stt !? 20:22, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I agree with your statement for the reasons listed. I rolled my eyes when they passed the bill since I knew people would be coming to the article and treating this case as no different than Belgium or Canada. AlexiusHoratius 22:53, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Jidanni,
Looks interesting, but that seems like a blog post/editorial, and I couldn't find something better from a cursory search.
