Historical distribution with dialects |
Valley Yokuts is a dialect cluster of the Yokutsan language family of California.
Chukchansi, which is still spoken natively, has language classes and a preschool for children. It is also taught at a local elementary school. Though there are no longer any native speakers, Tachi has a Headstart language program.
Valley Yokuts is sometimes considered three languages.[2]
Of these, Yawelmani /jɑːwɛlˈmɑːni/,[3] also known as Yowlumni, is the best known. See also Chukchansi dialect.
