Abstract:

Of the many linguistic families in California most are confined to
single areas, but the large Moquelumnan or Miwok family is one of the
few exceptions, in that the people speaking its various dialects
occupy three distinct areas. These three areas, while actually quite
near together, are at considerable distances from one another as
compared with the areas occupied by any of the other linguistic
families that are separated.
The northern of the three Miwok areas, which may for convenience be
called the Northern Coast or Lake area, is situated in the southern
extremity of Lake county and just touches, at its northern boundary,
the southernmost end of Clear lake.
The second of  the three  areas lies on the northern shore of San
Francisco bay, and comprises Marin county together with a small
portion of the southern part of Sonoma and a very small part of Napa
counties. Within this area are two dialectic divisions. The·smaller,
which may be conveniently termed the Western Coast or Bodega dialectic
area, comprises a very small territory immediately about the shores of
Bodega bay.  The larger division may be termed the Southern Coast or
Marin dialectic area, and  occupies the remainder  of  the  area.
The third or main area occupied by people belonging to the Moquelumnan
or Miwok stock comprises, generally speaking, that portion of the
western slope of the Sierra  Nevada mountains which extends from
Cosumnes  river  on the  north to Fresno  river on the south (adapted
from the introduction).
