Chinookan or a jargon or trade language called Chinuk wawa (chinook talk)
Chinuk
The Chinook people all spoke some dialect of the Chinook language. Because the Chinook people were traders and met with people as far away as S.E. Alaska and Northern California and Montana most Chinook people spoke at least two languages and often three. Out of these languages came the pigeon language, Chinuk Wawa, translated as "Chinook Talk". Chinuk Wawa is a very robust language as is spoken by many people today.
