Brief Description:
"Atsugewi is one of the two languages of the Palaihnihan family of northeastern California. It is the heritage language of two of the eleven bands that constitute the Pit River Tribe, the Atsugewi of Hat Creek and the Aporige (Apwaruge) of Dixie Valley. Atsugewi has been well documented in recent decades, principally by Talmy, who published a major study of its semantic structure. There have been no known speakers since 1988, and no revitalisation effort is under way." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 11
