Appendix:Proto-Hokan reconstructions

This appendix contains Proto-Hokan reconstructions by Kaufman (2015).

Note that Hokan is not universally accepted by all linguists. Some linguists consider Hokan to be a linguistic area (Sprachbund) or linkage rather than a a bona fide language family of truly related languages.
