The
Makah language is the
indigenous language spoken by the
Makah people. Makah has not been spoken as a
first language since 2002, when its last fluent native speaker died. However, it survives as a second language, and the Makah tribe is attempting to revive the language, including through preschool classes. The
endonymous name for Makah is qʷi·qʷi·diččaq.
