Language
The Cayuse language is a language isolate. It has been proposed in the past that it may be related to Molala, making up a Waiilaptuan family ultimately related to the Penutian stock. This proposal is currently unproven. The language has been extinct since the 19th century.

Famous quotes containing the word language:

—Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)
“The language of Friendship is not words, but meanings. It is an intelligence above language.”
