Tule-Kaweah is a Yokutsan language of California. One dialect survives, that of the Wukchumni (Wikchamni) tribe, with a single speaker remaining as of 2014.
Wukchumni has only one native or fluent speaker, Marie Wilcox (both native and fluent), who has compiled a dictionary of the language.[1][3][4][5] “Marie's dictionary”, a short documentary by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, is about her dictionary. She has also recorded an oral version of the dictionary.[1] Together with her daughter Jennifer, Marie Wilcox teaches weekly classes to interested members of their tribe.
