	Penutian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Penutian is a proposed grouping of language families that includes many Native American languages of western North America, predominantly spoken at one time in Washington, Oregon, and California.
		The original hypothesis of Penutian consisting of 5 language families was suggested by Roland B. Dixon and Alfred L. Kroeber in 1903 and published in 1913.
		Callaghan, Catherine A. Miwok-Costanoan as a subfield of Penutian.

	Oregon Penutian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oregon Penutian is a hypothetical language family in the Penutian language phylum comprising languages spoken at one time by several groups of Native Americans in present-day western Oregon and western Washington in the United States.
		Various languages in the family are divided by dialects that are in most cases identical to the various identified tribal bands in the region.
		Tualatin dialect, spoken in the northern Willamette Valley along the Tualatin River, Lake Wapato, and the lower Willamette River.

	NPS Archeology Program: Kennewick Man
		Penutian is accepted as a valid genetic unit by such local experts as Bruce Rigsby.
		Rigsby, however, is convinced of its validity and states that, "It is probable that in Penutian studies we are dealing with a grouping of languages with a time-depth at least as great as that within the Indo-European family of languages" (Rigsby 1969:70).
		However, given the concentration of distinct Penutian subgroups between central California and the Columbia Plateau and the probable predominantly north-to-south movement of early human settlement of the Americas, it is more than likely that Proto-Penutian was spoken in the Columbia Plateau region, perhaps as early as 8,000-9,000 years ago.

		The inclusion of (A small native range horse) Cayuse into Plateau Penutian is questionable due to so little data.
		The original hypothesis of Penutian was suggested by Roland B. Dixon and Kroeber in 1903, published later in 1913 and 1919.

		The argument for continuity of Penutian speakers in the Columbian Plateau, says Hunn, is supported by lexical evidence in the form of words for the flora and fauna of the Columbia Plateau.
		The name Penutian comes from the words for "two" in two groupings of languages that Dixon and Kroeber thought might be related, "pen" in Yokuts, Wintu, and Maidun, and "uti" in Coastanoan and Miwok.
		But if there is not a Penutian phylum, then the differences between its supposed language families do not justify the time depth that some linguists have claimed; instead, differences would be accounted for because they belong to separate genetic units and not because they are divergent members of the same genetic unit.

		California Penutian includes four language families-Wintuan, Maiduan, Yokutsan, and Utian (which itself includes the Miwok and Costanoan subfamilies)-which are further subdivided into approximately 30 distinct languages.
		Penutian speakers eventually occupied the interior valley extending to the coast around the San Francisco Bay Area, whereas a number of Hokan-speaking populations occupied the periphery of the Central Valley (Moratto 1984).
		Glottochronological estimates for the age of the Utian branch of the Penutian stock (the Miwok and Costanoan language families) in California fall between 4500 and 5200 years B.P. (Callaghan 1997; Moratto 1984).

		These are the Athapaskan, the Oregon Penutian, the Salishan, and the Hokan families.
		Penutian languages - a family that is rather loosely defined - were spoken on the central Oregon Coast, along the Lower Columbia, in the Cascades, in the Willamette Valley, and in the Rogue Valley.
		Penutian and Hokan languages are thought to form the oldest strata of languages in Western Oregon, perhaps going back 10,000 years.

	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.
		The necessary factors were, as far as can be identified a present, a combination of relatively level areas of oak grassland in reasonable proximity to either the ocean or the San Francisco Bay, and sizable areas of marshes [Breschini 1983:70].
		Moratto states, for example, "It is notable that the extent of the early Utian radiation seems to match the distribution of marshlands." Based on this, differences between the two maps appears to be a minor oversight, as the significant differences between the two models are negligible.
