Squamish Language
Squamish /ˈskwɔːmɪʃ/ (Squamish: Sḵwx̱wú7mesh snichim, snichim meaning "language") is a Coast Salish language spoken by the Squamish people of southwestern British Columbia, Canada, centered on their reserve communities in Squamish, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. An archaic historical rendering of the native "Sḵwx̱wú7mesh" is "Sko-ko-mish" but this should not be confused with the name of the Skokomish people of Washington state. Squamish is most closely related to the Sháshíshálh, Halkomelem, and Nooksack languages. In the Squamish orthography, the symbol 7 is used to represent the glottal stop, /ʔ/.
