Yok-Utian languages
Encyclopedia : Y : YO : YOK : Yok-Utian languages
Yok-Utian (also Hotian) is a hypothetical language family of California. It consists of the Yokutsan and Utian families.
The name Yok-Utian was coined by Geoffrey Gamble. Catherine Callaghan (who established the Utian family) is one of the major investigators of this hypothesis. Callaghan and Gamble's research on this family started in 1991. An early suggestion of similarities between these two families was made by Kenneth Whistler and Victor Golla in 1986.
Yok-Utian is a part of the larger Penutian proposal.
