Pacific Northwest languages : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pacific Northwest languages
The Pacific Northwest languages are the indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest of North America. This is a geographic term and does not imply any common heritage for these languages. In fact, the Pacific Northwest is an area of exceptional linguistic diversity and contains languages belonging to a large number of (apparently) unrelated families. However, the close proximity of multiple languages has created many opportunities for mutual interaction, with the result that the Pacific Northwest forms a linguistic area, with many areal features that are shared across language families. These languages are well known for their complex phonetic systems, particularly their large number of dorsal obstruents. Tlingit, for example, has about 24 different stop consonants and fricatives in the velar, uvular, and glottal areas (as well as five different lateral obstruents). Also common are a number of other consonants that are unfamiliar to English speakers, such as pharyngeal consonants and ejectives.
