Wakashan Languages
				updated 9-18-2002

	The Wakashan languages (Algonkian-Mosan) comprise the Wakashan sub-
branch of the Algonkian-Wakashan branch of the Algonkian-Mosan family of
languages.  Nootka and Kwakiutl are Wakashan languages.  The Wakashan and
Salishan branches are both found in the northwestern part of the United States
and Canada, but the Wakashan languages are more closely related to the Algonkian
languages than they are to the Salishan languages.
