FN Language

[David D. Robertson]

LhaXayam,

The respondents could have been from the mouth of the Columbia, though
FPCF's survey was of BC First Nations people; however it's very unlikely
they spoke Chinook as opposed to CJ, I feel.  Though not a Chinookan
specialist, I believe there are no speakers of the relevant Chinookan
languages left.
