|Description:||The Tsimshianic Languages in Historical and Areal Perspective
"Sapir (1929) characterized "Tsimshian" as "a northern
Penutian outlier" but also "probably profoundly influenced by Mosan." Recent research shows that the major structural features and the basic roots of Tsimshianic are indeed
most compatible with Penutian affiliation (T 1997, 2000). This is an overview of the other influences on Tsimshianic, which has been isolated from Penutian for a very long
time, and instead surrounded by Tlingit (North), Athapaskan (East), Haida (West), Wakashan (South). It may also have been at one time in closer contact with Salishan."
