[edit] no nasals

The Chimacum language, like the language of the Quileutes, was one of only a few known languages to not have any nasal sounds (m, n) - Then how did they pronounce the sound at the end of their name? RickK 02:21, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Something is amiss... --Menchi 07:59, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Concerning nasals? The other language groups of the area make heavy use of both n and m. One possibility is that Chimacum is the name bestowed by their neighbors. On the fringe of the Chimacum area is the place, now a town, of Quilcene,_Washington.

• Quileute on Ethnologue
• Description of Quileute.

[edit] Chimakuan langs

In both these places, the group or family to which Quileute belongs is identified as Chimakuan. There is a vigorous community that works to promote Quileute and the other tribal languages. This question can be resolved cleanly. --Ted Clayton 14:10, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] hello

Hello - I was born in Forks, WA, and attended grade school at the Forks Quiluete School District, along with all the kids from La Push. Then went to Port Angeles. I have access to the Clallam Co Historical Society library. Massive info. I know several Elwha people: maybe there are some who would see the value in participating in Wikipedia. I see you're doing a bunch of Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound Native articles. Cool! Any way I can help, anything we might be able to get going, let me know. --Ted Clayton 02:57, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Splice

Just a note that it might be a good idea to break the article into Chemakum and Chemakum language when we get more information. --Merovingian ※ Talk 08:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
