Yurok (Pueleekla’)
Region: Northwestern California
Ethnicity: Yurok
Extinct: 26 March 2013, with the death of Archie Thompson
Revival language revival in progress; 350 with some knowledge, 35 fluent L2 speakers as of 2020
Language family: Algic (Yurok)

Yurok (also Chillula, Mita, Pekwan, Rikwa, Sugon, Weitspek, Weitspekan) is an Algic language. It is the traditional language of the Yurok of Del Norte County and Humboldt County on the far north coast of California, most of whom now speak English. The last native speaker died in 2013. As of 2012, Yurok language classes were taught to high school students, and other revitalization efforts were expected to increase the population of speakers.

The standard reference on the Yurok language grammar is by R. H. Robins (1958).

Yurok is from Karuk yúruk meaning literally 'downriver'. The Yurok traditional name for themselves is Puliklah (Hinton 1994:157), from pulik 'downstream' + -la 'people of', thus equivalent in meaning to the Karuk name by which they came to be known in English (Victor Golla, personal communication).(Campbell 1997:401, notes #131 & 132)
