Southern Tsimshian,Sgüüx̣s[note 1] (pronounced:/skiːxs/[8]) orSgüümk,[6] is the southern dialect of theTsimshian language, spoken by theGitga'ata andKitasoo Tsimshians inKlemtu,B.C. It became extinct with the death of the last remaining speaker, Violet Neasloss.
Sgüüx̣s is close toCoast Tsimshian and has been described[9] as a highly conservative dialect, however the two may not have been mutually intelligible with Coast Tsimshian.[10] The nameSgüüx̣s means "the language beside."
SpecialistJohn Asher Dunn wrote several articles on the language,[11] from which the termSouthern Tsimshian arose.[12]
