Kaska Language (Tahltan, Tagish, Nahanni)
Kaska is an Athabascan language spoken by
the Kaska people ("Kaska Dena" in their own language) of Northern Canada.
Languages spoken by two other tribes, the Tahltan and the Tagish, are so closely related to Kaska that most linguists
consider them dialects of the same language (like American and British English.) Taken together, the three languages (often
referred to as Nahane or Nahanni) are spoken by around 500 people in the Yukon and northern British Columbia.
