Cruzeño, also known as Isleño (Ysleño) or Island Chumash, was one of the Chumashan languages spoken along the coastal areas
of Southern California. It shows evidence of mixing between a core Chumashan language such as Barbareño or Ventureño and an
indigenous language of the Channel Islands. The latter was presumably spoken on the islands since the end of the last ice
age separated them from the mainland; Chumash would have been introduced in the first millennium after the introduction of
plank canoes on the mainland. Evidence of the substratum language is retained in a noticeably non-Chumash phonology, and basic
non-Chumash words such as those for 'water' and 'house'. |
