Other comments: Klamath-Modoc or Lutuamí-modoco is an extinct language. The last speaker, Mabie Eggsman, died in 2003. There is 170 ethnic population in east and north of Klamath and Agency lakes, Oregon state.

Klamath--Modoc has decimal system. I worked with five native speakers of Klamath in the 1980--the language is now completely extinct though fairly well documented thanks to M. A. R. Barker's three volumes, plus the earlier work of Albert Samuel Gatschet and scores of unpublished texts collected by University of Oregon anthropologist Theodore Stern. Dr. Stern is now deceased.

Note: Vowels a, e, i, o (e has value [æ]); L, M, N, W, Y represent voiceless sonorants; l’, m’, n’, w’, y’ are glottalized sonorants; p’, t’, k’, q’ are ejectives.  Stress, according to Barker (1964), is predictable.
