Karkin language

The Karkin language (also called Script error: No such module "Lang". in Spanish) is an extinct Ohlone language. It was formerly spoken in north central California, but by the 1850s there were no more native speakers.[1] The language was historically spoken by the Karkin people, who lived in the Carquinez Strait region in the northeast portion of the San Francisco Bay estuary.[2] The name 'Karkin' means 'trader' in some varieties of Ohlone.[3]
Karkin's only documentation is a single vocabulary obtained by linguist-missionary Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta at Mission Dolores in 1821.[4] Although meager, the records of Karkin show that it constituted a distinct branch of Ohlone, strikingly different from the neighboring Chochenyo Ohlone language and other Ohlone languages spoken farther south.[5]
