The language was first propagated by the Yasicha culture in the Age of Straw, before being replaced by the White Tracks culture that spread their dialect of the language across the Aotwaxu Basin and across the eastern Ogbami watershed via trade with the Tso-tso and Tumachee. In the Age of Clay, various empires, both local and foreign, used Aoyého' to communicate among their subjects, with regional dialects like Tuyo', the Wichita dialects and the Ka'kreeh dialects diverging around this time. | The language was first propagated by the Yasicha culture in the Age of Straw, before being replaced by the White Tracks culture that spread their dialect of the language across the Aotwaxu Basin and across the eastern Ogbami watershed via trade with the Tso-tso and Tumachee.

The dialect, especially the variation spoken by the people of the same name, often features rising tones where in other dialects there would be a high tone or simply no tone in the same place. | The dialect, especially the variation spoken by the people of the same name, often features rising tones where in other dialects there would be a high tone or simply no tone in the same place. | ||

The Wichita dialects, despite sharing a name with the [[w:Wichita people|Wichita people]] and [[w:Wichita Mountains|mountain range]] are unrelated to either of these names. Instead the dialects get their name from the [[Chub]] word ''uhéj-ctaa'', meaning "overripe blueberries", as the forest where "Proto-Wichita" was spoken was known by the local Chub tribe for its blueberries that ripened quickly, making it a great area for the production of blueberry wine. This word was erroneously romanised as "Whichitar", which simplified to "Wichita". To this day, the wine from this forest is still called "Wichita wine" | The Wichita dialects, despite sharing a name with the [[w:Wichita people|Wichita people]] and [[w:Wichita Mountains|mountain range]] are unrelated to either of these names.

Yuguche(''xyúgú'cheh''; <small>Yuguche:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ʝɞ́gʷɞ́ʔd͡ʒɛh]]]) is the most spoken Wichita dialect. It retains many features typical of a Wichita dialect, including labialised plosives before a vowel and a voiced realisation of /t͡ʃ/. Yuguche also includes an extra letter: ⟨x⟩, pronounced [k̟] on its own. | |||
