Major languages in this family include Salish, Spokane, and Coast Salish languages such as Lushootseed and Halkomelem. Salishan languages are characterized by complex phonetic systems, including a rich array of consonants and a system of vowel harmony. They often feature a unique grammatical structure, with an emphasis on verb forms and noun classification.
