 Sahaptian among Plateau Penutian languages | |
Sahaptian (also Sahaptianic, Sahaptin, Shahaptian) is a two-language branch of the hypothetical Plateau Penutian family spoken by Native American peoples in the Columbia Plateau region of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in the northwestern United States.
The terms Sahaptian (the family) and Sahaptin (the language) have often been confused and used interchangeably in the literature.
