Family Division
The Salishan language family consists of twenty-three languages. Below is a list of Salishan languages, dialects, and sub-dialects. The genetic unity between the Salish languages is evident. Neighboring groups have communicated often, to the point that it’s difficult to untangle the influence each dialect and language has upon others. This list is a linguistic classification that may not correspond to political divisions. Many Salishan groups consider their variety of speech to be a separate language rather than a dialect.

It will the woefullest division prove
That ever fell upon this cursed earth.”
