薩利什語系

薩利什語系（Salishan languages）是北美原住民的一個語系，一共包括23種語言，現時分為以下三個分支：貝拉庫拉語族、海岸薩利什語族及內陸薩利什語族。

薩利什語言分布在美國華盛頓州以及加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞省環薩利什海一帶。

這些語言最顯著的特徵之一是其極為複雜的輔音結構，例如努哈爾克語（Nuxálk）單詞 （國際音標：xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ）「他曾經有過一棵草茱萸」有連續13個輔音，中間沒有元音。

## 分支

薩利什語系總共有23種語言，下列為這個語系所包括的所有語言、方言及次方言。這個分類表純粹照語言學的角度來分類，不涉及政治分界上的考慮。若依照當地原住民社群的意願，不少方言都被認為應視作獨立的語言。
