han language

The Hn language is an Native American endangered language spoken in only two places: Eagle, Alaska and Dawson City, Yukon. There are only a few fluent speakers left (perhaps about 15), all of them elderly. It is a member of the Athabaskan language family, which is part of the larger Na-Dené family. The name of the language is derived from the name of the people, "Hn Hwch'in", which in the language means "people who live along the river", the river being the Yukon. There are currently efforts to revive the language locally.
