Nuu-chah-nulth language
Nuu-chah-nulth ((unicode:Nuučaan̓uł)),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Language Program )〕 also called Nootka ,〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 is a Wakashan language spoken in the Pacific Northwest of North America, on the west coast of Vancouver Island from Barkley Sound to Quatsino Sound in British Columbia, by the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples. Nuu-chah-nulth is a Southern Wakashan language related to Nitinaht and Makah. The provenance of the term "Nuu-chah-nulth", meaning "along the outside (Vancouver Island )" dates from the 1970s, when the various groups of speakers of this language joined together, disliking the incorrect term "Nootka" (which means "go around" and was mistakenly understood to be the name of the place, which was actually called Yuquot). The name given by earlier sources for this language is Tahkaht; that name was used also to refer to themselves (the root ''aht'' means "people").〔(''Some account of the Tahkaht language, as spoken by several tribes on the western coast of Vancouver island '', Hatchard and Co., London, 1868 )〕
It is the first language of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast to have documentary written materials describing it. In the 1780s Captains Vancouver, Quadra, and other European explorers and traders frequented Nootka Sound and the other Nuu-chah-nulth communities, making reports of their voyages. From 1803–1805 John R. Jewitt, an English blacksmith, was held captive by chief ''Maquinna'' at Nootka Sound. He made an effort to learn the language, and in 1815 published a memoir with a brief glossary of its terms.
