		Wintun (also Wintuan, Wintoon) is the name generally given to a group of related Native American tribes who lived in Northern California, including the Wintu, Nomlaki, Patwin and Southern Patwin tribes.
		The Wintu spoke one of the Wintuan languages.

		Wintuan (also Wintun, Wintoon, Copeh, Copehan) is of family of languages spoken in the Sacramento Valley of north central California.
		The Wintuan family was a member of the California kernel of the original Penutian proposal of Roland B. Dixon and Alfred L. Kroeber.
		The Penutian is a phylum (or stock) of language families that include many Native American languages of western North America, predominantly spoken at one time in Washington, Oregon, and California.

		There may be a distant relationship between the Alsean languages, Siuslaw, and the Coosan languages.
		They may also be related the Wintuan languages.
		Linguistic research is being carried out to determine if any of these relationships are valid—this research also is a part of a larger Penutian super-family hypothesis.

	The Bipartite Stem Belt
		There is also a significant number of bipartite stems one element of which occurs only in that stem and no other, and other bound stem elements which do not easily fit into any of the general classifying, instrumental, motional, or change-of-state or LDS categories.
		This structural correspondence to Takelma is striking in light of the evidence given by Whistler (1977) and Golla (1993) for a relatively recent northern origin for the Wintuan languages.
		The absence of any evidence of LP's in Wintuan implies that at this date it was spoken still farther north than the point of origin from which it moved into California.

	Morphological Parallels between Klamath and Wintu
		They are worth considering in the context of the other morphological similarities, but in any case we will require some work on internal reconstruction of Klamath, and internal and comparative reconstruction of Wintuan, before these can be finally evaluated.
		The same is true of the t suffixes in the two languages which I will try to equate in the final section; although there are clearly intriguing simi- larities, they require a richer context both of comparative Klamath-Wintuan and of syntactic analysis of Klamath and of Wintuan languages before their significance can be finally determined.
		The most striking, and most compelling, parallel which I have observed between the two languages is in the pronominal para- digms.

	Klamath Stem Structure in Genetic and Areal Perspective
		On the one hand, Maiduan languages are not so geographically isolated from our transmontane group as to preclude the possibility of shared structural features reflecting marginal participation in the areal development.
		In this connection we should note the lack of any such parallels in the nieghboring Wintuan languages.
		On the other hand, the parallels are indeed striking, and the parallel between Maidu w¢o-kot-dau and Klamath /wgatt'-/ (above) certainly suggests that the position of the LP's may be common inheritance.

	Penutian languages -- Compton's Desk Reference Online Article
		Like the Hokan hypothesis (see Hokan languages), it attempted to reduce the number of unrelated language families in one of the world's most linguistically diverse areas.
		At its core was a group of languages spoken along California's central coast and in the Central Valley, including Ohlone (Costanoan), Miwok, Wintuan, Maidu, and Yokuts.
		Sapir added Oregon Penutian (languages once spoken in eastern Oregon), Chinookan (spoken along the lower Columbia River), Plateau Penutian (languages of Plateau Indian peoples), Tsimshian (spoken in western British Columbia), and Mexican Penutian (spoken in southern Mexico).

		This tribe spoke a Wintuan language related to the Penutian Stock of in California.
		Linguists feel the Hokan language spoken by the Chimariko is older than the Wintuan Penutian.
		The reasoning for this is the peripheral location in California of Hokan speaking peoples compared to Penutian groups.

		There a number of varying opinions concerning its validity.
		The name is based on the words meaning 'two' in the Wintuan, Maiduan, and Yokutsan languages (which is pronounced something like) and the Utian languages (which is pronounced something like [uti]).
		It is probably best to consider the Penutian grouping as undemonstrated.

	Diachronic Notes on the Klamath Verb Suffixes
		Otherwise, I have at present little evidence for identifying any of the hypothetical etyma involved in this system with other specific elements of the complex.
		Thus the prefix complex has strong similarities to a Tsimshianic category (DeLancey, Genetti and Rude 1988), and the inflectional complex both structural and etymological similarities to that of Wintuan (DeLancey 1988), while the stem complex is comparable to that of Maiduan (DeLancey 1989).
		Diachronic Implications Some may find something counterintuitive about the conclusions suggested here, in that I am claiming that the outermost layers of verb morphology are considerably more archaic than several inner layers.

	Morphological Parallels between Klamath and Wintu
		To begin with, I have omitted from the Wintu paradigm a dual series and a set of reflexives with no parallel in Klamath, as well as an inclusive form and an instrumental series which, unlike the object forms, are formed regularly by the addition of the normal instrumental suffix to the oblique stem.
		From the transparent regularity of the dual, reflexive, and instrumental series in Wintu we can infer that they are recent developments within Wintuan, rather than old elements lost in Klamath.
		Included in the data given here are several Klamath forms which do not match with anything in Wintu:
