Tsetsaut language : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tsetsaut language
The Tsetsaut language is an extinct Athabascan language formerly spoken by the now-extinct Tsetsaut in the Portland Canal area of northwestern British Columbia. Virtually everything known of the language comes from the limited material recorded by Franz Boas in 1894 from two Tsetsaut slaves of the Nisga'a, which is enough to establish that Tsetsaut formed its own branch of Athabaskan. It is not known precisely when the language became extinct. One speaker was still alive in 1927. The Nisga'a name for the Tsetsaut people is "Jits'aawit" The Tsetsaut referred to themselves as the ''Wetaŀ''. The English name ''Tsetsaut'' is an anglicization of , "those of the interior", used by the Gitxsan and Nisga'a to refer to the Athabaskan-speaking people to the north and east of them, including not only the Tsetsaut but some Tahltan and Sekani. == Examples == The examples by Merritt Ruhlen:〔Merritt Ruhlen (1994) On the Origin of Languages (Studies in Linguistic Taxonomy)〕
