The Northwest Coast Languages refer to a group of indigenous languages spoken by various Native American tribes along the Pacific Northwest coast of North America. This linguistic family includes languages such as Salishan, Tsimshian, and Kwakiutl, among others. These languages are known for their complex phonetic systems and rich oral traditions. Many of the Northwest Coast tribes, such as the Haida and Nuu-chah-nulth, have distinct languages that reflect their unique cultures and histories. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and revitalize these languages, as many are endangered due to historical suppression and the dominance of English in the region.
