Definition
- The Chemakum language (; also written as Chimakum or Chimacum) was spoken by the Chemakum, a Native American group that once lived on western Washington state's Olympic Peninsula. The Chemakum language was very similar to the Quileute language (the only surviving Chimakuan language). In the 1860s, Chief Seattle and the Suquamish people wiped out the Chimakum people, killing the language off with them.
