Wiyot language
Wiyot is an extinct Algic language, formerly spoken by the Wiyot people of Humboldt Bay, California. The language's last native speaker, Della Prince, died in 1962. Some Wiyots are attempting a revival of the language. Concerning the etymology of Wiyot, Lyle Campbell writes, "Wiyot is from wíyat, the native name for the Eel River delta, which also referred to one of the three principal groups of Wiyots." He also notes: "The connection of Wiyot and Yurok in northern California with Algonquian was first proposed by Sapir and was quite controversial at that time, but the relationship has subsequently been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all. Before 1850 the Yurok lived on the lower Klamath River. The Wiyot lived in the Humboldt Bay area, in the redwood belt; the last fully fluent speaker died in 1962. Many scholars have commented that although Wiyot and Yurok are neighbors in northern California, they seem not to have a closer relationship with each other than either has with Algonquian."
