The Nooksack language (Lhéchalosem) is a Coast Salish language spoken by the Nooksack Indians of northwestern Washington State
in the United States, centered in Whatcom County. The Nooksack language belonged to the Coast Salishan family of languages
but became extinct around 1988. In the 1970s, the Salishan linguist Brent Galloway worked closely with the last remaining
fluent speaker and is currently completing a dictionary of the language. George Adams, a Nooksack tribal member, is also working
on the language. Nooksack is most closely related to Squamish, Sháshíshálhem (Sechelt) and Halkomelem, which are all spoken
in nearby parts of British Columbia, Canada. |
