Brief Description:
"Wappo is a Yukian language, a small family of the Coast Range of northern California. Wappo was originally spoken from Napa Valley to Clear Lake, in a compact, mostly mountainous, territory hemmed in by speakers of the Pomo languages on the west, Lake Miwok on the north, and Patwin on the east and south. During the nineteenth century most of the surviving Wappos joined these surrounding groups. Wappo appears recently to have become extinct." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 25
