Nisga’a (also Nass, Nisgha, Nisg̱a’a, Nishka, Niska, Nishga, Nisqa’a) is a Tsimshianic language of the Nisga'a people of northwestern
British Columbia. Nisga'a people, however, do not like the term Tshimshianic as they feel that it gives precedence to Coast
Tsimshian. Nisga’a is very closely related to Gitksan. Indeed, many linguists regard Nisga’a and Gitksan as dialects of a
single Nass–Gitksan language. The two are generally treated as distinct languages out of deference to the political separation
of the two groups. |
