Oregon Coast Penutian languages
- Oregon Coast Penutian languages
-
The Oregon Coast Penutian languages are a family of three small languages or language clusters on the Oregon Coast that has moderate support. Although much of their similarity is demonstrably due to language contact, linguists such as Scott DeLancey believe they may be genealogically related at a greater time depth. They are part of the much more hypothetical Penutian proposal.
