Barbareño is one of theChumashan languages, a group ofNative American languages spoken almost exclusively in the area ofSanta Barbara, California. A dialect of the Barbareño language was also "spoken atSan Emigdio nearBuena Vista Lake" in the southern Central Valley. This dialect, called Emigdiano, "was heavily influenced byBuena Vista Yokuts."^[2] Barbareño lost its last knownnative speaker in 1965 with the death ofMary Yee.^[1] Both Barbareño and Ineseño are currently undergoing processes oflanguage revitalization.^[3][4]

As of 2013, the Barbareno Chumash Council is engaged in ongoing efforts to revive the language. Two of its members are language apprentices and teachers.^[5][6] Wishtoyo Chumash Village, inMalibu, California, announced the opening of its Šmuwič Language School in 2010.^[3][4]
