Okanagan Language
The Okanagan Language is a member of the Salishan language family, primarily spoken by the Okanagan Nation in British Columbia and Washington State. It is an indigenous language that reflects the culture and traditions of the Okanagan people, who have inhabited the region for thousands of years.
Efforts are ongoing to revitalize the Okanagan Language, as it faces challenges due to declining speakers. Language programs and community initiatives aim to teach younger generations, ensuring the preservation of this important aspect of Okanagan heritage and identity.
