T'Sou-ke, also known as Sooke, is the dialect of the North Straits Salish language spoken by the T'Sou-ke people of Vancouver Island in British Columba. As of 2014, there were no fluent speakers, although there were at least ten speakers remaining who could somewhat speak and understand the language.[1]
The name "T'Sou-ke" is an anglicization of the name of the stickleback fish which lives in the Sooke River estuary. The name has also been written as Soke and Sooke.[2]
Phonology
T'Sou-ke, in contrast to other dialects of North Straits Salish, has y instead of l in some instances. Wayne Suttles suggested that the dialect has been influenced by the neighboring S'Klallam language, or that some groups of T'Sou-ke differed in speech to others.[3]
