O'lomah!
Welcome to the Yurok Language Project website! Our goal is to provide as much information as possible about the Yurok language, its structure and usage, and its relations to cultural and geographical setting. We work with the Yurok Tribe, with members of the Yurok community, and with Yurok community groups. Please don't hesitate to write with questions or requests. Wokhlew k'ee ma k'e-nuue'mow'!
Project news: February 2011
We've added web pages describing the Yurok language, especially pronunciation, with lots of audio samples! In these new pages you'll find:
a general overview of the language
information about Yurok sentence patterns, word formation, and sounds
- descriptions of pronunciation of vowels — here and here — and consonants
Let us know if there are ways that these web pages could be more useful.

This very short story was recorded by Domingo of Weitchpec for A. L. Kroeber in 1906; it includes a flute song. The story was later re-recorded by Weitchpec Frank. Read and listen to the full text here.
