Language is disappearing at an alarming rate, The Quileute Tribe back in 2007 set up a 2 -year Quileute Language Revitalization Project with the goal of encouraging their people to use words in phrases and in everyday life. A basic vocabulary of greetings, questions, numbers, games, names of things, and one liners in Quileute were made available to tribal members and staff in informal class, email, and computer Cd’s. My Grandmother spoke fluent Quileute, I wish that i had listened more to her and learned her language, My grandmother was Quinault but spoke Quileute language, her Name was Charlotte P. Kalama a master basket weaver from Queets. Back when “Twilight” was popular a while ago, and some of the native boys in the film called her and she was teaching him the language on the phone. The Quileute language is a little hard on the tongue, but anybody can learn it. In the tutorial the voice of Lillian Pullen was my grandmothers step mother, she is the elder speaking on the website of some of the audio that is available. That was one of my main reasoning for choosing Quileute Tribe, so I could learn more about my family. The Quileutes are very strong in culture and language.
They made their language available for the world, they made an alphabet sheet, a list of common words and phrases.
you can even Download and install the Quileute Font (True Type), which may be listed as Aiil Tikas or Quil Times after installation. The Quileute Font keyboard layout guide is a helpful chart showing which Quileute character maps to the standard English QWERTY keyboard.
