Hokan stock [Yuman family, possibly the Serian and Tequistlatecan families]
The Hokan stock includes languages of Mexico and the western part of the United States, especially in California.

The Hokan language family is a hypothetical grouping of a dozen small language families spoken in California and Mexico.
Although some Hokan families may indeed be related, especially in northern California, few linguists today expect Hokan as a whole to prove to be valid, and the term is often used as a convenient label to simplify one of the most linguistically diverse areas of the world.

These data were analyzed to determine whether Hokan and Penutian, two hypothesized ancient linguistic stocks, represent biological units as a result of shared ancestry within these respective groups.
Particular patterns of this diversity have also been used to formulate hypotheses of human migration and expansions in western North America as well as a higher-level subgrouping that is presumed to reflect closer relationships among certain groups of Native American populations.
Hokan languages include a number of language families in California, the Yuman languages in Baja and the southwestern United States, and Washo on the western edge of the Great Basin (Campbell 1997; Campbell and Mithun 1979; Mithun 1999).

Washo is often placed in the theoretical Hokan stock, but if Washo is a member of this family, it is only a distant relationship.
However, even one of the originators of the Hokan hypothesis (Alfred L. Kroeber) finds that the relationship between Washo and Hokan "can not be close".
Because of this lack of a strong connection and doubts about the validity of a Hokan family itself, Washo is currently considered a language isolate.

Fulier though, shaken to the core by the way the Neimoidians and the Mandalorian mercenary Ghez Hokan exploited and oppressed the local population, couldn't resist intervening at one point.
Utilizing one of Ghez Hokan's deserted lieutenants the Omega Squad had taken prisoner, Etain spread false information about their numbers to Hokan by using the Jedi mind trick on the lieutenant in order to have the Mandalorian concentrating his forces at one point.
However, the bluff turned against the squad: Hokan instead divided his forces between the two possibly endangered locations, attempting to perform a double bluff to get the Omega Squad to attack the villa of Lik Ankkit, which basement he had packed with all kinds of explosives.

It seems that it was once spoken throughout the upper 2/3 of California, but thousands of years ago it had been centrally penetrated by Penutian stocks (Maidu, Miwok, and others) leaving it in four isolated areas, from the Pacific coast in the West, the California-Oregon border, and the area around Lake Tahoe.

We can posit a time when the Northern Hokan languages (regardless of whether or not this turns out to be a valid genetic grouping) were all spoken in a compact and contiguous area, with Proto- Plateau-Maiduan and ancestral Washo nearby, to the northeast and east, respectively.

 CaliforniaPrehistory.com -- Linguistics And Prehistory: A Case Study from The Monterey Bay Area
Based on the linguistic patterns, researchers immediately postulated that the Hokans had once been contiguous, occupying most of California, and that a subsequent intrusion by Penutian groups had created the widely separated pattern which was appearing.
Based on linguistic patterns alone, a number of researchers have suggested that what is now Costanoan/Ohlone territory must have been occupied at an earlier time by speakers of Hokan tongues, most likely the ancestors of the Esselen.
While there was no change on the Big Sur coast (indeed, we have predicted that there would be no change), there was a significant change in the Monterey Bay area, and we have evidence that it occurred at the Early/Middle Transition.
