Public Comment
Few speakers of Lower Chehalis survived into the 20th century, and the language is not well
documented, although a substantial number of sound recordings of one of the last fluent speakers were made around 1940. One very elderly and incapacitated man may have some limited fluency, and a few others may have a passive knowledge of words and phrases, but the language is extinct as a medium of communication.
