Miluk, also known as Lower Coquille from its location, is one of two Coosan languages. It shares more than half of its vocabulary
with Coos proper (Hanis), though these are not always obvious, and grammatical differences cause the two languages to look
quite different. Miluk started being displaced by Athabascan in the late 18th century, and many Miluk shifted to Athabascan
and Hanis. Miluk was spoken around the lower Coquille River and the South Slough of Coos Bay. The name míluk is the endonym,
derived from a village name. The last fully fluent speaker of Miluk was Annie Miner Peterson, who died in 1939. She knew both
Miluk and Hanis, and made a number of recordings. Laura Hodgkiss Metcalf, who died in 1961, was the last functional speaker
(her mother was Miluk), and was an informant to Morris Swadesh for his Penutian Vocabulary Survey. |
