Buena Vista was a Yokutsan language of California.
The language was "formerly spoken in at least two local varieties around Buena Vista Lake in Kern County, California,"[1] in the villages of "Hometwoli, Loasau, Tuhohi, [and] Tulamni."[2]
Dialects [edit]
Two dialects of Buena Vista were Tulamni and Hometwali.[3] Tuhohi (also called Tohohai or Tuhohayi) was a similar dialect, spoken by a tribe who "lived among channels and sloughs of Kern River where they enter Tulare Lake."[4]
A variety of the Barbareño language "was heavily influenced by Buena Vista Yokuts." This language was called Emigdiano, as it was "spoken at San Emigdio near Buena Vista Lake."[5]
