Whoever wrote up the Ethnologue classification obviously knew nothing about Salishan language. What an idea, putting Lushootseed, Skagit, Snohomish, the Southern Puget Sound dialects and Twana all on the same level and calling it "Twana"!!! Lushootseed (dxwleshucid) is a name for the mutually intelligible dialects spoken along the eastern and southern shores of the Puget Sound - Skagit and Snohomish are northern dialects, Duwamish, Niqually, Puyallup and Squaxin are southern dialects. Twana on the other hand is a closely related but not mutually intelligible language, and it has far fewer speakers than Lushootseed so calling the grouping "Twana" just makes no sense; a much better term is Southern Coast Salish, as used in the Handbook of North American Indians (vol. 7).

xwəlšucid.Whulshootseed
xwəlšucid is southern Puget sound, dxwləšúcid is northern sound
- Whulshootseed article now exists; I'm unfamiliar with terminologies, it may be that the entire "Southern" section ehre could/should be migrated to that page, or it should be merged here....Skookum1 (talk) 17:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Lushootseed orthography
The salmonid terms on this page appear to be taken from the http://www.lushootseed.net/ web page. It should be noted that the spellings rendered here are thus not standard; see the "Spelling and Pronunciation" page on the site. Notably, the lushootseed.net spellings lack characters such as: ə, ƛ, etc. Literal Schmiteral (talk · contribs)
- i changed it to fit the standard. of course, it needs to be checked against a dictionary as there are ambiguities – ishwar (speak) 04:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Would someone be so kind as to add some information to the article on how to read the orthography? There are letters and notations used here that I don't recognize (maybe just because I'm not that up on the IPA?), so some explanation would be welcome.
- And it appears that the domain name for http://www.lushootseed.net/ expired -- it now has some blurb in German about nose jobs (Nasenkorrektur). -- Cheers, Erik Anderson -- 205.166.76.15 (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Tillicum/Steilacoom
Hi; figured this might be the place to ask if Steilacoom is a Lushootseed name/word, or if maybe it's a "Salishanized" form of Tillicum (i.e. with s- added). They're just so close to each other - Tillicum, Washington and Fort Steilacoom...I mean geogrpahically, as well as phonologically.....Skookum1 (talk) 20:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Salmon vocabulary
I don't think it belongs here, it maybe moved to Wiktionary. Attafei (talk) 12:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
