Talk:Chemakum language

no nasals
The Chimacum language, like the language of the Quileutes, was one of only a few known languages to not have any nasal sounds (m, n) - Then how did they pronounce the sound at the end of their name? RickK 02:21, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

 * Concerning nasals? The other language groups of the area make heavy use of both n and m.  One possibility is that Chimacum is the name bestowed by their neighbors. On the fringe of the Chimacum area is the place, now a town, of Quilcene,_Washington.

Chimakuan langs

 * In both these places, the group or family to which Quileute belongs is identified as Chimakuan. There is a vigorous community that works to promote Quileute and the other tribal languages.  This question can be resolved cleanly. --Ted Clayton 14:10, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC)

hello
Hello - I was born in Forks, WA, and attended grade school at the Forks Quiluete School District, along with all the kids from La Push. Then went to Port Angeles. I have access to the Clallam Co Historical Society library. Massive info. I know several Elwha people: maybe there are some who would see the value in participating in Wikipedia. I see you're doing a bunch of Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound Native articles. Cool! Any way I can help, anything we might be able to get going, let me know. --Ted Clayton 02:57, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Splice
Just a note that it might be a good idea to break the article into Chemakum and Chemakum language when we get more information. --Merovingian ※ Talk 08:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

--chief seattle --

I've read that the Klallam Tribe was at constant war with the Chimacum, but have not read that they had conflicts with the Suquamish. I'm not sure that it is accurate that Chief Seattle wiped them out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.65.141.130 (talk) 16:58, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
