John E. McLaughlin

The Central Numic branch of the Numic language family of the Uto-Aztecan stock
comprises three closely-related languages—Timbisha, Shoshoni, and Comanche.
Timbisha and Comanche are spoken by less than a handful of L1 speakers each in
eastern California and southwestern Oklahoma. Shoshoni is spoken by fewer than
a dozen L1 speakers scattered across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. All
three languages are still spoken in parts of the regions where they lived at
the time of contact. A very rough estimate of the time depth of Proto-Central
Numic is about a millennium. Timbisha and Shoshoni have an underlying
obstruent system which consists of voiceless stops /p, t, k, kw/, two
voiceless fricatives /s, h/, and a voiceless affricate /ts/, but a surface
phonetic system that includes voiced and voiceless stops, fricatives, and
affricates in all the places of articulation of the underlying stops and
affricates. This system of underlying and surface obstruents has been
partially restructured in Comanche. John E. McLaughlin, Associate Professor of
English at Utah State University, has published on the Central Numic languages
since 1980.
