Cahuilla (English: , kə-WEE-ə), or Ivilyuat (Ɂívil̃uɂat or Ivil̃uɂat [ʔivɪʎʊʔat]), is an endangered Uto-Aztecan language, spoken by the various tribes of the Cahuilla Nation, living in the Coachella Valley, San Gorgonio Pass and San Jacinto Mountains region of southern California. The Cahuilla demonyms include Ɂívil̃uwenetem or Iviatam – speakers of Ivilyuat (Iviɂa) – or táxliswet meaning "person." A 1990 census revealed 35 speakers in an ethnic population of 800.
