Name: Takelma Type: Language Alternate Names: Takilma; Lowland Takelma Once Spoken in: USA Code: tkm Code Standard: ISO 639-3 Documentation: SIL Families: Isolates & Small Families Parent Subgroup: Takelman; Takelma; Takilman (takm) Brief Description: "Takelma was a language formerly spoken in the valley of the upper Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. The Takelmas were displaced from their homeland by the Rogue River War of 1855-6 and the survivors eventually settled on the Grand Ronde and Siletz Reservations in northwestern Oregon. There may have been several distinct local dialects, but only one is reflected in most of the documentation, the largest part of which comes from Sapir's work in 1906 with a single speaker. The language was extinct by the 1940s." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 23
