Quechan, also known as Yuma (and not to be confused with the unrelated Quechua language), is the native language of the Quechan people of southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. In 1980, it was estimated that there were fewer than 700 speakers of the language, including both the elderly and young. Hinton put a conservative estimate of the number of speakers at 150, and a liberal estimate at 400-500.

  • Quechan, also known as Yuma (and not to be confused with the unrelated Quechua language), is the native language of the Quechan people of southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. In 1980, it was estimated that there were fewer than 700 speakers of the language, including both the elderly and young. Hinton put a conservative estimate of the number of speakers at 150, and a liberal estimate at 400-500. Quechan belongs to the River Yuman branch of the Yuman-Cochimí linguistic family, together with Mohave and Maricopa. Publications have documented Quechan grammar and texts. Assistance is available for speakers of the language who wish to vote in elections in Imperial County, California and Yuma County, Arizona, under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act.
  • Le yuma (ou quechan, de l'ethnonyme kwtsan) est une langue yumane de la branche des langues yumanes centrales parlée aux États-Unis, en Californie, le long du Colorado, près de la ville de Yuma. La langue, parlée par seulement 150 personnes pour 815 vivant sur la réserve de Fort Yuma, est menacée.
