Description

Excerpt from Handbook of American Indian Languages, Vol. 2: With Illustrative Sketches In its general phonetic character, at least as regards relative harsh ness or smoothness of acoustic effect, Takelma will probably be found to occupy a position about midway between the characteristically rough languages of the Columbia valley and the North Californian and Oregon coast (chinookan, Salish, Alsea, Coos, Athapascan, Yurok) on the one hand, and the relatively euphonious languages of the Sacramento valley (maidu, Yana, Wintun) on the other, inclining rather to the latter than to the former.
