From tliat time it has grown and spread until almost every Indian of the Xorth Pacilic Coast, and many inland tribes of Washington, British Columbia, and Oregon s[)eak it. White men of all nati(ms avIii live in this country speak it, and even the almond-eyed Cliina- man learns it soon after locating here. In short, it is tlie court language oL' the Northwest, as the sign language is of the plains. It is made np fnmi vali- ons Indhm tongues, witli a few English, oi I'ather pige<m-English, Fivnch, and t*^panisli words inter- mixed.
