The term "Tsimshianic" refers to a family of indigenous languages spoken by the Tsimshian people in the Pacific Northwest of North America. This language family includes several dialects, such as Sm'algyax, which is the primary language of the Tsimshian community. Tsimshianic languages are part of the larger Na-Dene language family. Tsimshianic languages are known for their complex phonetic systems and rich oral traditions. The languages are primarily spoken in British Columbia and Alaska, where the Tsimshian people have lived for thousands of years. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize these languages among younger generations.
