Txc

Also Known As: Tsetsaut Language Description: Tsetsaut is an extinct Athabascan language formerly spoken in the Portland Canal area of northwestern British Columbia. Virtually everything known of the language comes from the limited material recorded by Franz Boas in 1894 from two Tsetsaut slaves of the Nisga'a. It is not known precisely when the language became extinct. One speaker was still alive in 1927. The Nisga'a name for the Tsetsaut people is "Jits'aawit" The Tsetsaut referred to themselves as the [wetaŀ]. The English name Tsetsaut is an anglicization of [ts'əts'aut], "those of the interior", used by the Gitksan and Nisga'a to refer to the Athabaskan-speaking people to the north and east of them, including not only the Tsetsaut but some Tahltan and Sekani...... full article at Wikipedia Location of Tsetsaut language Speakers http://llmap.org/languages/txc/static_map.png?width=400&height=300&kilroywashere=.png
