TheChalon language is one of eightOhlone languages, historically spoken by theChalon people ofNative Americans who lived inNorthern California. Also called Soledad, it belongs to one of theOhlone (or Costanoan) languages of theUtian family. It is poorly attested, the only documentation originating from wordlists in the 19th century and a fragment of acatechism.[1][2] Recent work suggests that Chalon may be transitional between the northern and southern groups of Ohlone languages.[3]
