Tututni language

Tututni (Dotodəni; alternatively Tutudin), also known as Upper Coquille, (Lower) Rogue River and Nuu-wee-ya, is an Athabaskan language spoken by three Lower Rogue River Athabaskan tribes: the Tututni tribe (including the Euchre Creek band), the Coquille tribe, and the Chasta Costa tribe, who are part of the Rogue River Indians of southwestern Oregon. In 2006 students at Linfield College participated in a project to "revitalize the language". It is one of the four languages belonging to the Oregon Athabaskan cluster of the Pacific Coast Athabaskan languages.

Dialects were Coquille (Upper Coquille, Mishikhwutmetunee), spoken along the upper Coquille River; Tututni (Tututunne, Naltunnetunne, Mikonotunne, Kwatami, Chemetunne, Chetleshin, Khwaishtunnetunnne); Euchre Creek, and Chasta Costa (Illinois River, Šista Qʼʷə́sta).
