Brief Description:
"Yuki was a complex of distinct but closely related dialects that were spoken in northern Mendocino and Lake Counties, California, from Round Valley to the coast. Together with Wappo, the Yuki dialects form the Yukian family. The major dialects were Coast Yuki, spoken along a short stretch of the rugged coast between Fort Bragg and Rockport; Huchnom, spoken along the South Eel River north of Willits; and Yuki (proper), or Round Valley Yuki, spoken in a number of village communities in and around Round Valley. The last fluent speaker died around 1990." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 25
