Cahuilla language
Cahuilla is an endangered Uto-Aztecan language, spoken by the Cahuilla tribe, living in the Coachella Valley, San Gorgonio Pass and San Jacinto Mountains region of Southern California.〔("Cahuilla." ) ''Ethnologue Report for the Language Code: chl.'' (retrieved 13 Dec 2009)〕 Cahuilla call themselves Iviatim, speakers of 'Ivia' - the 'original' language.〔("Cahuilla Indian Language (Iviatim)." ) ''Native Languages of the Americas.'' 2009 (retrieved 13 Dec 2009)〕 A 1990 census revealed 35 speakers in an ethnic population of 800. It is nearly extinct, since most speakers are middle-aged or older.
Three dialects are known to have existed, referred to as Desert, Mountain, and Pass Cahuilla.
