The Salishan languages are a group of languages of western Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the United States. They are characterised by astonishing consonant clusters (the Nuxalk word for "make it big!" is /Lk°'tX°/ (SAMPA /l\kw'tXw/)) and agglutinativity.


Salish is a term that refers to a number of languages of the Salishan family. It usually refers to a Salish language which does not have a true self-designation, such as Thompson River Salish and Interior Salish. Other Salish languages, such as Klallam, Saanich, Nuxalk, Nootka, Nooksack, Squamish and Lushootseed, are referred to by name.
