There are actually two distinct Chehalis languages, Upper Chehalis and Lower Chehalis. These two
Salishan languages of Washington State
are about
as different from each other as English and German. Today only a few semi-fluent speakers of either language remain,
and Lower Chehalis language revival advocates are working to merge their language with the neighboring
Quinault language, so it is usually
Upper Chehalis that is referred to by the name Chehalis today.
