The Three Rivers Languages

The prehistoric language of the Three Rivers civilization branched into a language family covering most of the southern half of the Northwest Basin. The most notable member of the family is Muipidan.

Three Rivers languages share several features:

• A low degree of synthesis

• A robust noun class system, ranging from two to sixteen classes

• Plurals formed by partial reduplication
