Nuxalk language
Nuxalk , also known as Bella Coola ,〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh.〕 is a Salishan language spoken by the Nuxalk people. Today it is spoken only in the vicinity of the Canadian town of Bella Coola, British Columbia by perhaps 20 elderly people. While the language is still sometimes called ''Bella Coola'' by linguists, the native name ''Nuxalk'' is preferred by some, notably by the Nuxalk Nation government.〔Suttles, Wayne (1990), "Introduction". In "Northwest Coast", ed. Wayne Suttles. Vol. 7 of ''Handbook of North American Indians'', ed. William C. Sturtevant, p.15.〕
Though the number of truly fluent speakers has not increased, the language is now taught in both the provincial school system and the Nuxalk Nation's own school, Acwsalcta, which means "a place of learning". Nuxalk language classes, if taken to at least the Grade 11 level, are considered adequate second language qualifications for entry to the major B.C. universities.
==Name==
The name "Nuxalk" for the language comes from the native nuxalk (or ''nuχalk)'', referring to the "Bella Coola Valley."〔(John R. Swanton, ''The Indian Tribes of North America'', Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 145—1953 )〕 "Bella Coola" is a rendering of the Heiltsuk ''(unicode:bḷ́xʷlá)'', meaning "stranger".〔Nater 1984, p. xvii〕
