After some digging, I've concluded that the Hailtzuk (also spelt Haeeltzuk and Hailtsa) and Belbella dialects (of a Salishan, Chinookan or Wakashan language) mentioned in older sources as having contributed words to Chinook Jargon are dialects of this language. I conclude this because George Gibbs wrote a Vocabulary of the Hailtzuk or Belbella language of Millbank's Sound which the Smithsonian Institute classifies as pertaining to the Kwakiutl, an ethno-linguistic group of 28 tribes who speak. - -sche (discuss) 05:18, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
