The tribe of Clallams, as they are usually called by the residents ofWashington Territory--by the neighboring Indians named S'klal′am, anddenominated by themselves Nūs-klái yūm--inhabit the southern shoreof Fuca Strait, from about the Okĕho River on the west, to PortTownshend on the east, bordering in the first direction on the Makahs, sometimes called Classets (the Klaizzart of Jewitt), a tribe of theNootka family who inhabit Cape Flattery, and in the other on theChemakum, like themselves a branch of the Selish, though a yet moreremote one. Their language is the same, with some dialectic differencesonly, as that of the Songhus and Sokes of Vancouver Island opposite. Itis this which has been referred to by Drs. Scouler and Latham as the"Nusdalum, " undoubtedly, in the first instance, a misprint. The Clallam differs materially from the other Selish languages of thePuget Sound country, though less from the Lummi than the rest. Itsnoticeable feature is the frequent occurrence of the nasal _ng_. The Lummi tribe live on the lower part of a river heading in the CascadeRange, north-east of Mount Baker, and emptying by two mouths, one intoBellingham Bay, the other into the Gulf of Georgia, the upper waters ofwhich are inhabited by the Nook-sahks (Nūk-sák). They are, however, intruders here, their former country having been a part of the group ofislands between the continent and Vancouver Island, to which they stilloccasionally resort. Their own name is Nūkh′lum-mi. The Skagits callthem Nūkh-lésh, and some of the other tribes Há-lum-mi. Theirdialectic affinities are rather with the Sannitch of the south-easternend of Vancouver Island than with any of the Indians of the main land, and the two probably at one period formed a single tribe, which moreremotely was connected with the Clallams and Songhus. The Simiahmoo(Si-mi-á-mu), a small remnant, living on the bay of that name, north ofthem, belong likewise to this group. On the south the Lummi adjoin theSamish and other bands of the Skagits, who in language approach theNisquallies. Like the Clallam, their language abounds with the nasal _ng_, both as aprefix and a termination. It has another peculiarity, in great measureits own, in the broad sound of the letter _a_, somewhat as in the words_mass_, _pass_, but even more prolonged. I have distinguished this inthe vocabulary by the italic. The letters _f_, _r_, _v_, _z_, arewanting in both languages. The Clallam and Lummi, as will be observed, contain three classes ofcardinals, which I have distinguished as _simple_, _personal_, and of_valuation_, although these terms are not strictly accurate; certainobjects, besides men, being counted by the second, and others, as wellas money, by the third; I have never fully ascertained the distinctionswhich govern their use. The words _animate_ and _inanimate_ do notapply; those of _noble_ and _ignoble_, by which the French Missionariesdesignated the names of objects in the Algonquin languages, probablyindicate the idea. Mr. Gallatin, in his "Notes on the Semi-CivilizedNations of Mexico, " &c. , [A] mentions the same peculiarity as existing inthe Mexican and Maya, in the former of which there are three differentterminations suffixed to the simple numbers, according to the objectsdenoted. A similar distinction is found in the Makak language, andtraces of it, at least, are observable in the Pima. I imagine that byinquiry the fact would be found to exist in other Indian tongues. Singularly enough, this feature also characterizes some of the languagesof Micronesia. [A] Trans. Am. Eth. Soc. , vol, i. , p. 54. The affinities of the Clallam and Lummi with the Selish are too obviousto require demonstration. Indeed Dr. Latham has already classed theformer with the Shewhapmukh, or, as he terms it, Atna, of Frazer River, the northernmost of the Selish dialects. The term Atna, it may bementioned, is improperly applied as a family name to these languages, asit is a Tákulli (Athabascan or Chepewyan) word, signifying, according toMr. A. C. Anderson, "strangers. " These two vocabularies were collected, the first at Port Townshend, during a residence of a few months, the other at Simiámoo Bay, while Iwas connected with the N. W. Boundary Commission. Neither of themunderwent more than a partial revision, and inaccuracies have thereforedoubtless crept in. They are, however, sufficiently reliable to affordthe basis of extending comparisons with the other Selish and the morenorthern coast families. Transcriber's Note: For greater legibility the letters originally markedas _a_ and _u_ have been replaced with ä and ü in the vocabularies, except where this would cause a conflict with an existing diacritical.
