Abstract

This document deals primarily with the linguistic relations between the various sub-groups constituting the Yokuts, and to a lesser degree with the linguistic affiliations between the Yokuts language and that of neighboring tribal groups -- Wintun, Maidu, Pomo, Yuki, Washo, Costano, and Miwok. The work was first undertaken by the author in 1900 for the California Academy of Sciences, and later completed under the sponsorship of the Ethnological and Archaeological Survey of California, between the years 1902-1904. Part III of this source deals briefly with various other dialects of the Yokuts language, and includes many representative examples of short texts. A number of linguistic comparisons and summaries are presented in this section, especially in the last few pages of the work entitled 'Status of Yokuts among the Languages of California.'
