Southern Pomo is one of seven mutually unintelligible Pomoan languages which were formerly spoken by the Pomo people in Northern California along the Russian River and Clear Lake. The Pomo languages have been grouped together with other so-called Hokan languages. Southern Pomo is unique among the Pomo languages in preserving perhaps the greatest number of syllables inherited from Proto-Pomo (the proto-language from which all seven Pomo languages descend).
