Since this is categorised under "native American" I guess you mean the native language families of the Americas and you are not asking about the languages of India.

There is no widespread agreement about the classification of those languages and there are almost as many opinions as there are language experts - even today, after hundreds of years of scientific study, experts can not agree on many aspects of this subject. You will therefore find many different and conflicting classification systems.

One recent study groups languages of the Americas in this way:

In North America:

Eskimo-Aleut

Na-Dene

Algic (or Algonquian)

Tsimshianic

Wakashan

Salishan

Chimakuan

Chinookan

Plateau Penutian

Kalapuyan

Alsean

Coosan

Shastan

Wintuan

Yukki-Wappo

Pomoan

Maiduan

Utian

Chumashan

Uto-Aztecan

Yokutsan

Yuman-Cochimi

Keresan

Kiowa-Tanoan

Caddoan

Siouan-Catawban

Comecrudan

Muskogean

Iroquiouan

Isolates (unclassified)

Each language family is made up of many related languages. For example, some of the Iroquioan languages are: Petun. Huron, Susquehanna, Neutral, Tobacco, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Mohawk, Seneca, Tuscarora.

In Central and South America:

Alacalufan

Arauan

Araucanian

Arawakan

Arutani

Aymaran

Barbacoan

Cahuapanan

Carib

Catacaoan

Chapacuran

Charruan

Chibchan

Chimuan

Choc

Chon

Yaruro

Guaicuruan
