海达语Xaat Kíl海达族的语言。该语言有8个元音和超过30个辅音。语言学家爱德华·萨丕尔曾在1915年把海达语归为纳-德内语系,该提议随即受到诸多语言学家(如Pinnow, Greenberg, Enrico, Ruhlen, Manaster Ramer, and Bengtson,详见参考文献列表)的支持;然而,今天大多数语言学家将海达语看作是一个孤立语言[2] 2008年语言学界提议美洲的纳-德内语系北亚(中西伯利亚)的叶尼塞语系同源并构成德内-叶尼塞语门[3]却没有任何迹象表明海达语属于该语门。

大约100年前,全体海达族都使用海达语,[4]但今天海达语却是极度濒危语言,只有20个人在使用,[5] 而今其使用者几乎全是长者。[6][7]

书写系统

海达语语有两套基于拉丁字母的书写系统:在加拿大常用的,约翰·恩里科(John Enrico)提出的恩里科系统,用来书写南海达语;在美国常用的,阿拉斯加原住民族语言中心英语Alaska Native Language Center(Alaska Native Language Center)提出的ANLC系统,用来书写北海达语。

  • ANLC系统区分两个同位异音[t͡ʃ](英语的ch)和[ts](汉语拼音的c)。
  • 恩里科系统是一种跨方言文字(尽管只跨了两个加拿大方言),它在不同方言中给了不同的语音影射,使得在两种方言中发音相同的词有着不同的写法,而写法相同的词有着不同的发音。[8]

此外还有一个不常用的系统,由John R. Swanton给出。[8]它更像是基于语音的,而不像是基于音位的。
