Name: Siuslaw Once Spoken in: USA Code: sis Code Authority: ISO 639-3 Code Standard: SIL Families: Isolates & Small Families Parent Subgroup: Siuslaw; Siuslawan (sius) Brief Description: "Siuslaw was a language formerly spoken in two closely related local dialects, Siuslaw (proper) and Lower Umpqua, by adjacent tribes in a small territory on the central coast of Oregon. It is an isolate, often associated with the controversial Penutian stock. Although some Siuslaw people were removed to reservations between 1855 and 1875 most remained in their traditional territory, where more than 100 descendants still reside. The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw was recognised in 1984, with tribal headquarters at Coos Bay." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 22
