The Yuman–Cochimí languages are a family of languages spoken in Baja California, northern Sonora, southern California, and western Arizona.
There are approximately a dozen Yuman languages. The extinct Cochimí, attested from the 18th century, was identified after the rest of the family had been established, and was found to be more divergent. The resulting family was therefore called Yuman–Cochimí, with Yuman being the extra-Cochimí languages.
Each year the tribes that make up the Yuman Family gather to network, inspire, and motivate language learners and educators alike. Each tribe is distinct yet share a common linguistic as well as dances, clothing, and traditions. This piece is a recap of 2013's gathering in Prescott, Arizona, hosted by the Yavapai Nation.
