Abstract:

Ausaima, a previously unknown language of California, is described for the
first time using data from a Franciscan document in the language. The sound
and meaning patterns of the language are presented, with a complete lexicon.
Ausaima (Costanoan/Ohlonean subfamily, Utian language family) presents key
evidence that Costanoan/Ohlonean languages were a dialect chain, rather than a
clearly branched family tree, confirming the early model of Kroeber. Ausaima
data permits a look at the prehistoric sociolinguistics of local tribes
(Kroeber's tribelets) in central California from the time of the Windmiller
Pattern intrusion into the area during the Middle Holocene (ca. 5,000 to 3,000
BP). The book enlarges the data on contract between Costanoan/Ohlonean (and
Utian) and Proto-Uto-Aztecan, which preceded Costanoan/Ohlonean in its
historic territory. A definitive ethnographic sketch situates Ausaima and
other Costanoan/Ohlonean languages in cultural context.
