Lingua Wiyot

Lingua Wiyot, etiam Wishosk appellata, est lingua Algica exstincta,^[1] olim in usu inter populum Wiyot, qui circum Sinum Humbodtensem Californiae habitabant. Della Prince, ultima loquens indigena, anno 1962 mortua est; nonnulli autem Wiyot linguam redintegrare conantur.^[2]^[3]

Usus et familia linguarum

Lyle Campbell, ad etymologiam linguae Wiyot spectans, scribit: "Wiyot est ex wíyat, nomine vernaculo deltae Fluminis Anguillarum, nomine quod etiam ad unam ex tribus principalibus gregibus Wiyotensibus spectavit" (Elsasser 1978:162).^[4] Campbell addit:

Coniunctio Wiyot et Yurok in California septentrionali (quae olim Ritwan appellatae sunt, postquam Dixon et Kroeber [1913] eas conligaverant ut una ex remotioribus stirpibus Californianis) cum linguis Algonquiania ab Eduardo Sapir anno 1913 proposita est, et illo tempore fuit controversissimus (Michelson 1914, 1915; Sapir 1915a, 1915b), sed haec coniunctio nunc ex sententia demonstrata est (Goddard 1975, 1979, 1990; Haas 1958; Teeter 1964a). Yurok ante 1850 secundum Flumen Klamath inferius habitabant. Wiyot (Wishosk prius appellati) in regione Sinus Humboldtensis habitabant, in zona sequoioidearum; ultimus omnino locutor profluens fuit mulier anno 1962 mortua (Teeter 1964b). Multi eruditi dixerunt Wiyot et Yurok, quamquam vicini in California septentrionali sunt, videri coniunctionem artiorem inter se non habere quam alterutra cum Algonquiana habet.^[1]^[5]

Before 1850 the Yurok lived on the lower Klamath River. The Wiyot (earlier called Wishosk) lived in the Humboldt Bay area, in the redwood belt; the last fully fluent speaker died in 1962 (Teeter 1964b). Many scholars have commented that although Wiyot and Yurok are neighbors in northern California, they seem not to have a closer relationship with each other than either has with Algonquian."
