Chinook people speak the Chinook Language. Chinuk Wawa is a daily spoken language. Chinook Jargon is a trade language that was used up and down the West Coast of North America
Chinook jargon was spoken from California to Alaska. It made it possible for many diverse people to communicate and carry out trade.
They spoke their native Chinook language, which was a complicated language with many sounds that don't exist in English. This is why the Chinook "jargon" language was invented in order to communicate with the French and English-speaking traders.

The fish is also known as "king salmon" due to its large size and rich flavor.
