Tagish is an endangered Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Tagish people in the Yukon Territory in Canada. It is almost extinct as there are only two fluent speakers left.
Tagish is closely related to Kaska and Tahltan. Although listed as distinct languages, the three might better be considered varieties of the same language.
