Mosan is a hypothetical language family consisting of the Salishan, Wakashan, and Chimakuan languages of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It was proposed by Edward Sapir in 1929 in the Encyclopædia Britannica. Little evidence has been adduced in favor of such a grouping, no progress has been made in reconstructing it, and it is now thought to reflect a language area rather than a genealogical relationship. The term persists outside academic linguistic literature because of Sapir's stature.

  • Mosan is a hypothetical language family consisting of the Salishan, Wakashan, and Chimakuan languages of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It was proposed by Edward Sapir in 1929 in the Encyclopædia Britannica. Little evidence has been adduced in favor of such a grouping, no progress has been made in reconstructing it, and it is now thought to reflect a language area rather than a genealogical relationship. The term persists outside academic linguistic literature because of Sapir's stature. An automated computational analysis (ASJP 4) by Müller et al. (2013) found lexical similarities between Salishan and Chimakuan. Wakashan was not included. However, since the analysis was automatically generated, the grouping could be either due to mutual lexical borrowing or genetic inheritance. (en)
  • Мосанские языки — гипотетическая языковая макросемья, предложенная Э. Сепиром в 1929 г. в статье, написанной для Британской энциклопедии. По мнению Сепира, в состав данной макросемьи входили салишские, вакашанские и чимакуанские языки северо-западного побережья Тихого океана. Гипотеза была плохо обоснована и с момента первой публикации в её пользу практически не накоплено данных. В настоящее время сторонники сходства данных языков склонны видеть в этом сходстве скорее признаки языкового союза, чем генетического родства. Тем не менее, благодаря авторитету Сепира термин всё ещё используется в нелингвистической литературе. (ru)
