  • Wintu is an endangered Wintuan language spoken by the Wintu people of Northern California. Wintu is the northernmost member of the Wintun family of languages. The Wintun family of languages was spoken in the Sacramento River Valley and in adjacent areas up to the Cardinez Strait of San Francisco Bay. Wintun is a branch of the Penutian stock of languages of western North America, more closely related to four other families of Penutian languages spoken in California: Maiduan, Miwokan, Yokuts, and Costanoan. The Wintu were in contact also with adjacent speakers of Hokan languages such as Southeastern, Eastern, and Northeastern Pomo; Athabaskan languages such as Wailaki and Hupa; Yukian languages such as Yuki and Wappo; and other Penutian languages such as Miwok, Maidu, Youkuts, and Saclan. Besides these contiguous languages surrounding the Wintun area wider contacts with speakers of Russian, Spanish, and English.
  • Le wintu est une langue amérindienne de la famille des langues wintuanes parlée aux États-Unis, en Californie dans la vallée de Sacramento et dans les montagnes le long du cours supérieur de la rivière Trinity. Seuls quelques locuteurs sont encore vivants et la langue est quasiment éteinte.
