The Coast Miwoks were brought into the Franciscan missions at San Rafael and Sonoma and their culture and language largely destroyed before 1835. Remnants of the language, mostly vocabulary, were collected from survivors between 1840 and 1964. Several local dialects were represented, with the Bodega Bay dialect (Bodega Miwok) somewhat divergent from the others (Marin Miwok). The last known person to have direct knowledge of the language died in the 1970s. A compilation has been made of the extant documentation of Marin Miwok, and a dictionary of Bodega Miwok has been published." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 13
