Abstract:

The Indians of  the Yokuts linguistic family, sometimes also called
Mariposan, inhabited the southern end of the San Joaquin basin in
California. Roughly, their territory extended from the Sierra Nevada
to the Coast Range, and from the Tehachapi mountains which shut off
the San Joaquin basin  on  the south from the desert, to the Fresno
and Chowchilla rivers  in  the north. The higher Sierras all along
this territory, and certain foothill regions in the south, were
occupied by Indians belonging to the Shoshonean family.
The great level stretch of valley throughout, and in most cases the
foothills also, were occupied by the Yokuts. A detached branch of the
family, known as the Cholovone, inhabited  a small area on the east
bank of the San Joaquin, in the vicinity of Stockton, considerably
nearer the mouth of this river than the remainder of the stock. The
Cholovone are perhaps entirely extinct and are certainly practically
so. Their language is unknown except from one pub-lished vocabulary,
which shows it to have  been a Yokuts dialect not very different from
the remainder  of the family.
The  various dialects are on the whole closely related. Their general
structure and their phonetic system are virtually identical. There is
also considerable similarity in vocabulary (adapted from the
introduction. Re-edition. Originally published 1907 in Berkeley).
Contents: 1.The Yaudanchi  dialect. 2. The  Yauelmani dialect. 3.
Other   dialects and comparisons. Each with chpaters on the phonetic
system, structure, nominal and verbal morphology, and texts.
(Re-edition. Originally published Berkeley, 1907, by the University
Press).
