(as in, non-English) language in the Sioux Nation is,

The only mentioned language is a complex sign language "developed by
the Plains indians in the 18th Century." No mention if it's used
officially in the military.

I imagine that English is still the most often used spoken language.
To avoid intertribal friction from differing languages, or some tribes
having "forgotten" their language.
