:Whulshootseed article now exists; I'm unfamiliar with terminologies, it may be that the entire "Southern" section ehre could/should be migrated to that page, or it should be merged here....Skookum1 (talk) 17:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi; figured this might be the place to ask if Steilacoom is a Lushootseed name/word, or if maybe it's a "Salishanized" form of Tillicum (i.e. with s- added).  They're just so close to each other - Tillicum, Washington and Fort Steilacoom...I mean geogrpahically, as well as phonologically.....Skookum1 (talk) 20:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The text of the article says Lushootseed has no nasal consonants, and the vocabulary lists (which I liked) show no nasal consonants, but the table of the alphabet shows two kinds of m and two kinds of n.  Can anyone straighten that out? —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 21:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

message: This is confusing to me because the IPA /ɓ/ is a bilabial implosive, and it is called a "glottalized b." I've usually heard "glottalized" in the context of ejectives, which can't be voiced. I wasn't quite sure what to do to correct that though, because it seemed like the second column was what the actual speakers called the sound, rather than what linguists called it. 
/l'/ looks like an ejective lateral in IPA, which I didn't think was possible. If it's not that, than what is it, and what differentiates it from ɫ (velarized l)?

message: The article gives 200 as the number of Lushootseed speakers. Marianne Mithun's 1999 reference work The languages of native North America states that there were "a handful", so 200 seems highly unlikely. Is there any recent, reliable information?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohammer (talk • contribs) 13:34, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Juliet Shen was commissioned by the tribe to design a font to help with the language revitalisation. There's an article about it at Designing a font to preserve a vanishing language, being linked from Going Global: The last decade in multi-script type design. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 00:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I created a phonology section based entirely on the Alphabet section. I recognize the original research issues, but phonology tables are expected on all language articles and there wasn't one yet. If anyone who has access to the books mentioned in the bibliography could source (or correct, if necessary) my phonological interpretation, please do so. Alázhlis (talk) 06:05, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Fdomanico51997 I'm a bit confused by your changes. The conventions for phoneme tables are as follows: If a phoneme is marginal, it should be in parentheses. If it is an allophone, it should not be in the table but explained in a footnote. If it is neither, it should not be marked as all entries in the table are assumed to be phonemes. Please see English phonology and other phonology articles for examples. Thanks. Catrìona (talk) 14:11, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

text: Thank you for your contributions, User:Fdomanico51997. Could you please explain why you have deleted the reference to the true palatal consonants (ç and so forth)? I derived them from the alphabet section of this article, which, while needing clear inline citations seems to be based on Lushootseed-specific linguistic work which I consider more reliable then the source that you cited (Browner 2009). Browner is not a meaningful language learning resource if only two pages are devoted to Lushootseed language. Catrìona (talk) 16:10, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello, I removed Skykomish as a Southern dialect, because sources seem to indicate that there is no scholarly consensus. However, I am not an expert and if other more knowledgeable editors think this was foolish, please revert. Thanks! -  Paulie 27 talk 10:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
