Abstract

"Upper Chehalis (q’way’áyi…q’) belongs to the Salish family and is the best studied language of its Tsamosan branch. It was formerly spoken in central Washington State, USA. Most information about this language comes from the work of M. Dale Kinkade (see references). Like all Salish languages, Upper Chehalis is predominantly suffixing and has a rich system of transitive suffixes"
