Derivation: From the river and hill of same nanre in Calaveras County, California; according to Powers the Meewoc name for the river is Wakalumitoh. The Talatui mentioned by Hale1 as on the Kassima ( Cosumnes) River belong to the above family. Though this author clearly distinguished the language from any others with which he was acquainted, he nowhere expressed the opinion that it is entitled to family rank or gave it a family name. Talatui is mentioned as a tribe from which he obtained an incomplete vocabulary. It was not until 1856 that the distinctness of the linguistic family was fully set forth by Latham. Under the head of Moquelumne, this author gathers several vocabularies representing different languages and dialects of the same stock. These are the Talatui of Hale, the Tuolumne from Schoolcraft, the Sonoma dialects as represented by the Tshokoyem vocabulary, the Chocuyein and You-kiousme paternosters, and the Olamentke of Kostromitonov in Baer's Beitrage. He also places here provisionally the paternosters from the Mission de Santa Clara and the Vallee de los Tulares of Mofras; also the language Guiloco de la Mission de San Francisco. The Costano containing the five tribes of the Mission of Dolores, viz., the Ahwastes, Olhones or Costanos of the coast, Romonans, Tulomos and the Altahmos seemed to Latham to differ from the Moquelumnan language. Concerning them he states " upon the whole, however, the affinities seem to run in the direction of the languages of the next ' U. S. Expl. Exp., 1846, vol. 6, pp. 630, 633. |
