Tataviam Language
Tataviam is a Uto-Aztecan language of Southern California.
Language loss has been especially
severe in California, where enslavement and violence against Indian peoples were not actively discouraged. The
Tataviam language has not been spoken since the 1920's and few records remain of it, though it appears to have been most
closely related to Gabrielino.
