Can Scrabble save the Sioux language?

An effort to keep the Dakota Sioux language from disappearing elevates Hasbro's crossword game Scrabble to the position of possible linquistic savior.

There's even an Official Dakotah Scrabble Dictionary, according to The Forum of Fargo, N.D.

While I wish the Sioux well in their bid to keep the language alive, I offer them a warning: Don't challenge Suzanne to a game of regular Scrabble. She's a shark.
