Chinook

Our professional linguists include native Chinook speakers who are experienced in the nuances of the language and the requirements of effective translation and interpreting.

Chinook Language

Chinook is a language group spoken by the North American Chinook Indians.

The Chinook were renowned as traders.  “Chinook Jargon,” the trade language of the Northwest Coast, combined Chinook languages with the Nuu-chah-nulth language, and other English, French, and Native American words.  Some believe that Chinook Jargon existed before European contact.

Currently, there are more than 1,500 Chinook descendants.
