Tagish is an endangered Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Tagish people in the Yukon Territory in Canada . It may be extinct ; in 2001 there was only one elderly deaf native speaker left.
Tagish is closely related to Kaska and Tahltan . Although listed as distinct languages, the three might better be considered varieties of the same language.
