Northwestern California is home to several Indigenous languages, belonging to at least three completely different language families, the Athabaskan, Algic, and the Hokan. Most linguists disagree about which languages belong to the Hokan language family, and whether or not it is even a language family. Most of these languages have living first-language speakers and active speech communities, though some languages are described as dormant or sleeping languages.
