Abstract

The Coos language is spoken by the Coos, Coosan, or Kusan, peoples, who traditionally occupied the lands around Coos Bay, on the southwestern Oregon coast. Remnants of the original tribe still live in the area and have a small reserve in Empire, Oregon. The language of the Kusan is commonly classified as a part of the Macro-Penutian language phylum, spoken by a number of tribes of possibly related Yakonan stock in the Columbia River basin, along the Oregon coast, in Northern California, and elsewhere to the south.
