Quileute language
Quileute ,〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 also known as Quillayute , was the last Chimakuan language, spoken until the end of the 20th century by Quileute and Makah elders on the western coast of the Olympic peninsula south of Cape Flattery at La Push and the lower Hoh River in Washington State, USA. The name Quileute comes from ''kʷoʔlí·yot’'' , the name of a village at La Push.
Quileute is famous for its lack of nasal sounds, such as , , or nasal vowels, an areal feature of Puget Sound.
Quileute is polysynthetic and words can be quite long.
== Use and revitalization efforts ==
There were ten elderly speakers in 1977, and "a few" in 1999.〔Mithun, ''The Languages of Native North America''〕 The Quileute Nation is attempting to prevent the loss of the language by teaching it in the Quileute Tribal School, using books written for the students by the tribal elders.
"(2007 ), the Tribal Council set up a two-year Quileute Revitalization Project with the goal of encouraging the use of Quileute words and phrases in everyday village life. A basic vocabulary of greetings, questions, numbers, names of things, and "one-liners" in Quileute were made available to tribal members and staff through informal classes, email and computer CDs."
