Hupa is an Athabaskan language spoken in the Trinity valley in California by the Hupa (Natinixwe). Morphologically, it is remarkable for having an extremely small number— perhaps less than one hundred— of basic (monomorphemic) nouns, as nearly all nouns in the language are derived from verbs. According to the results of Census 2000, the language is spoken by 64 persons between the ages of 5 and 17, including 4 monolingual speakers.

  • Hupa is an Athabaskan language spoken in the Trinity valley in California by the Hupa (Natinixwe). Morphologically, it is remarkable for having an extremely small number— perhaps less than one hundred— of basic (monomorphemic) nouns, as nearly all nouns in the language are derived from verbs.

  • Le hupa est la langue de la tribu indienne Hupa, qui habite le nord-ouest de la Californie. Cette langue fait partie du groupe des langues de la côte pacifique de la famille athapascane, qui appartient elle-même à la famille na-dené des langues des Amériques. Le hupa est encore parlé par quelques personnes âgées dont c'est la langue maternelle (93 en 1990, 8 en 1998), et il serait en voie d'extinction sans les opérations de revitalisation qui ont été menées, comme l'enseignement de la langue aux adultes. Il existe un dictionnaire de langue hupa.
