Kalapuyan (also Kalapuya) is a small extinct language family that was spoken in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon, United States. It consists of three languages.[2]
Family division[edit]
Kalapuyan consists of
- 1. Northern Kalapuya † (also known as Tualatin–Yamhill)
- 2. Central Kalapuya † (several dialects, including Santiam)
- 3. Yoncalla † (also known as Southern Kalapuya)
Genetic relations[edit]
Kalapuyan is usually connected with the various Penutian proposals, originally as part of an Oregon Penutian branch along with Takelma, Siuslaw, Alsea and Coosan.[3] A special relationship with Takelma had been proposed, together forming a "Takelma-Kalapuyan" or "Takelman" family.[4][5][6][7] However, an unpublished paper by Tarpent & Kendall (1998)[8] finds this relationship to be unfounded because of the extremely different morphological structures of Takelma and Kalapuyan.
