Family division
The Maiduan consists of 4 languages:
- Maidu † (also known as Maidu proper, Northeastern Maidu, Mountain Maidu)
- Chico † (also known as Valley Maidu)
- Konkow (also known as Northwestern Maidu)
- Nisenan † (also known as Southern Maidu)
The languages have similar sound systems but differ significantly in terms of grammar. They are not mutually intelligible, even though many works often refer to all of the speakers of these languages as Maidu. The Chico dialects are little known due to scanty documentation, so their precise genetic relationship to the other languages probably cannot be determined (Mithun 1999), and in any case may have been not a fourth Maiduan language, but widely divergent dialects of Konkow (Ultan 1967).
Three of the languages went extinct by approximately the year 2000. Konkow was reported to have 3 elderly speakers in 2007.[1]
Genetic relations
Maiduan is often considered in various Penutian phylum proposals. It was one of the original members of California Penutian (the Penutian "core").
