1. Northern Kalapuya (also known as Tualatin–Yamhill)
2. Central Kalapuya (several dialects, including Santiam)
3. Yoncalla (also known as Southern Kalapuya)

Genetic relations

One of the boulders engraved with Kalapuyan words along the paths of east Alton Baker Park in Eugene, Oregon; this one is next to the Willamette River: Whilamut (meaning, Where the river ripples and runs fast)

Kalapuyan is usually connected with the various Penutian proposals, originally as part of an Oregon Penutian branch along with Takelma, Siuslaw, Alsea and Coosan.[3] A special relationship with Takelma had been proposed, together forming a "Takelma–Kalapuyan" or "Takelman" family.[4][5][6][7] However, an unpublished paper by Tarpent & Kendall (1998)[8] finds this relationship to be unfounded because of the extremely different morphological structures of Takelma and Kalapuyan.

gollark: If you want them to not do that, you should avoid buying their products.
gollark: Nvidia actively goes to extra effort to hinder open source driver development, probably because their proprietary ones deliberately limit the hardware somewhat (see: the limited encoding throughput on nonprofessional cards).
gollark: This is due to Nvidia bad.
gollark: They're okay for anyone but Nvidia.
gollark: It is obviously not entirely free of any safety issue ever. It is, however, much easier to not do accursed memory safety things than in C.
