fam1=Kalapuyan Kalapuyan (also Kalapuya) is a small extinct
language family that was spoken in theWillamette Valley ofWestern Oregon ,United States . It consists of three languages.Family division
Kalapuyan consists of
: 1. Northern Kalapuya (a.k.a. Tualatin-
Yamhill ): 2. Central Kalapuya (a.k.a.Santiam ): 3. Yoncalla (a.k.a. SouthernKalapuya )Genetic relations
Kalapuyan is usually connected with the various
Penutian proposals with Kalapuyan lying within an "Oregon Penutian" sub-group (along with Takelma, Siuslaw, and Coosan). A special relationship with Takelma has been proposed, together forming aTakelman family; however, recent research has offered counterevidence against this relationship. Therefore, currently the Kalapuyan family is generally considered separate, but with promising connections to the Penutian hypothesis.References
