California Indian languages refer to the diverse group of languages spoken by the Indigenous peoples of California. There are over 70 distinct languages belonging to several language families, including Uto-Aztecan, Yuman, and Hokan. These languages reflect the rich cultural heritage and history of the various tribes in the region. Many California Indian languages are endangered due to historical factors such as colonization and assimilation policies. Efforts are being made to revitalize these languages through educational programs and community initiatives, aiming to preserve the linguistic diversity and cultural identity of the Indigenous peoples of California.
