Page "Chumash people" Paragraph 4

Several related Chumashan languages were spoken.

There are few, if any, living native speakers, although they are well documented in the unpublished fieldnotes of linguist John Peabody Harrington.

Especially well documented are the Barbareño, Ineseño, and Ventureño dialects.

Several Chumash families are working to revitalize the language.
