Abstract
"9- My informants did not emphasize, (and hardly seemed to be aware of a linguistic break to the north of the Yakima; in other words I could get nothing on the Salishan-speaking peoples (Wenatchapam, Piskouse, Moses Columbia Band, etc.) as distinguished by speech from the Sahaptin speaking Yakima, S'kinpam, Klikitat etc. Informants did not recognize the break linguistically between the Wishram and Wasco (Chinookan languages) and Shahaptin languages, however. Possibly P'kaiaut is an exception to what I found to exist: The following questions have this in mind. What are the Wanapum words for the numerals 1-10, for head, leg, arm, house, mother, father, water, deer, fish?"
