has gloss | eng: Nisgaa (also Nass, Nisgha, Nisaa, Nishka, Niska, Nishga, Nisqa’a) is a Tsimshianic language of the Nisgaa people of northwestern British Columbia. Nisgaa people, however, do not like the term Tshimshianic as they feel that it gives precedence to Coast Tsimshian. Nisgaa is very closely related to Gitksan. Indeed, many linguists regard Nisgaa and Gitksan as dialects of a single Nass-Gitksan language. The two are generally treated as distinct languages out of deference to the political separation of the two groups. |
