 Historical extent of Cupan languages | |
TheCupan languages are a branch of theUto-Aztecan language family that comprisesCupeño,Ivilyuat (Cahuilla),Luiseño-Juaneño, and perhapsNicoleño,[1] all historically spoken insouthern California.
The branch had long been considered to be part of theTakic subgroup, but there is doubt about the validity of Takic as a genetic unit, the similarities between the languages classed as Takic possibly being due primarily to borrowing.[2][3]
