The Makah language is a member of the Salishan language family, primarily spoken by the Makah Tribe in Washington State, USA. It is traditionally used by the Makah people for communication, storytelling, and cultural practices. The language has faced challenges due to declining speakers but has seen revitalization efforts in recent years. Makah is known for its unique phonetic features and vocabulary that reflect the tribe's coastal environment and lifestyle. Language classes, immersion programs, and community initiatives aim to teach younger generations and preserve this important aspect of Makah culture.
