The Yakama people spoke Yakama, which is a northwestern dialect of Sahaptin, a Sahaptian language of the Plateau Penutian family.

Since the late 20th century, some native speakers have argued to use the traditional Yakama name for this language, Ichishkíin Sínwit. The tribal Cultural Resources program wants to replace the word Sahaptin, which means "stranger in the land".


Today, there are less than 90 native speakers of Yakama.
