text:
The Shasta language is an extinct Shastan language formerly spoken from northern California into southwestern Oregon. It was spoken in a number of dialects, possibly including Okwanuchu. By 1980, only two first language speakers, both elderly, were alive. Today, all ethnic Shasta people speak English as their first language. According to Golla, there were four distinct dialects of Shasta:
- Ikirakácˑu
- Iruhikwáˑcˑu
- Uwáˑtuhúcˑu
- Ahútˑireˀeˑcˑu
