yes.

Quileute (pronounced: /ˈkwɪli.uːt/), is the only surviving Chimakuan language, spoken by a few Quileute and Makah elders in Washington State, USA.

The name Quileute comes from kʷoʔlí·yot' [kʷoʔléːjotʼ], the name of a village at La Push.

Quileute is famous for its lack of nasal sounds, such as [m] and [n].

The Quileute language is still in use today, though it is in danger of dying out. It is spoken only by tribal elders at La Push, and some of the Makah people. The Quileute language is different from any other spoken in the world. There is little information on it, and what is available is mostly in books sold by The People in an attempt to support teaching that language in the tribal school. We were unable to find the word for mom or mother, however the word for woman is "Wisatsu'upat."
