| has gloss | eng: Mutsun (also known as San Juan Bautista Costanoan) is an extinct Utian language in the Ohlone/Costanoan language family that was spoken in Northern California by the division of the Ohlone who lived in the Mission San Juan Bautista area (classified "Southern Ohlone" in ISO639-3). Ascencion Solorsano, who died in 1930, was the last native speaker of Mutsun. Mutsun went extinct from a gradual process of the Mutsun being forced to switch to speaking Spanish and English. The Spanish wrote a grammar of the language, and linguist John Peabody Harrington collected very extensive notes on the language from Solorsano. Harrington's field notes formed the basis of the grammar of Mutsun written by Marc Okrand as a University of California dissertation in 1977, which to this day remains the only grammar ever written of any Costanoan language. Many Mutsun people who live in California today are trying to restore their language. |

| has gloss | eng: Rumsen (also known as Rumsien, San Carlos Costanoan and Carmeleno) is one of eight language divisions of the Ohlone (Coatanoan) Native American people of Northern California. The Rumsen language was spoken from the Pajaro River to Point Sur, and on the lower courses of the Pajaro, as well as on the Salinas and Carmel Rivers, and the region of the present-day cities of Salinas, Monterey and Carmel. One of eight languages within the Costanoan (alias Ohlone) branch of the Utian family, it became one of two important native languages spoken at the Mission San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo founded in 1770, the other being Esselen. |
