A Hokan language personal occurs as supposititious grouping of the xii little language families spoken around California and Mexico. Inside about a century since the "Hokan" hypothesis foremost proposed these families were related to every more, little extra grounds to believe has been uncovered. Although occasionally Hokan families could indeed exist as related, especially around northern California, couple of linguists now require Hokan as a whole to prove to exist as valid, & a term is typically utilized as a handy label to simplify one of a virtually all linguistically diverse areas of the globe.

Hokan languages come spoken per Pomo on the California coast, when well as by more Native U.s. nations about Mount Shasta, Lake Tahoe, and a Yuman peoples along the moo Colorado River. A bit of linguists as well include Chumash or even other families, however a grounds to believe is jejune, & virtually tons today limit Hokan to occasionally or all of the languages used beneath.

Except for even the Yuman personal, entirely Hokan languages come nowadays either moribund or out.
