Yoncalla (also Southern Kalapuya or Yonkalla ) is an extinct Kalapuyan language once spoken in southwest Oregon in the United States . [1] In the 19th century it was spoken by the Yoncalla band of the Kalapuya people in the Umpqua River valley. It is closely related to Central Kalapuya and Northern Kalapuya , spoken in the Willamette Valley to the north.
The last known user of the language was Laura Blackery Albertson, who attested to being a partial speaker in 1937. [2]
