Ventureño is a member of the extinct Chumashan languages, a group of Native American languages previously spoken by the Chumash
people along the coastal areas of Southern California from as far north as San Luis Obispo to as far south as Malibu. Ventureño
was spoken from as far north as present-day Ventura to as far south as present-day Malibu and the Simi Hills, California.
Dialects probably also included Castac and Alliklik . Ventureño is, like its sister Chumashan languages, a polysynthetic language,
having larger words composed of a number of morphemes. Ventureño has separate word classes of verb, noun, and oblique adjunct;
with no separate word class for adjectives or adpositions. Nouns and verbs are often heavily affixed in Ventureño, affixing
being a way to denote those meanings often conveyed by separate words in more analytic languages. Verbs play a primary role
in Ventureño with utterances often composed only of a verb with clitics. Chumash word order is VSO/VOS, or VS/VO (as per Dryer
1997). |
