Hupa (Hoopa) Language

Hupa is an endangered Athabaskan language of California. A second language, Chilula-Whilkut, is no longer spoken but is considered by most linguists to have been a dialect of Hupa. Only a few elders are still fluent in the Hupa language, but some young people are working to keep their ancestral language alive.
