The Hupa language is one of California's Athabaskan languages. Other closely related dialects include the Chilula, and Whilkut. Other Athabaskan-speaking peoples are found along the Pacific Coast, and in the American Southwest (Navajo, Apache). The Athabaskan languages are very distinctive in their structure and complexity. Much of the Hupa Language although complex in linguistics, is relatively easy to improvise once you have mastered the basic principles of word formation.If you want to learn more, look out for the Hupa Language Dictionary: Second Edition or contact the Tribal Office for more information.
