Do you know how to speak Tsetsaut? Tsetsaut is an Athabaskan language spoken in the Portland Canal, Northwestern British Columbia. It has been extinct since the mid 20th century.

Franz Boas recorded the language in 1894 from two Tsetsaut slaves of the Nisga'a.

The Tsetsaut call themselves the Wetaɬ. The name Tsetsaut comes from /ts'əts'aut/, "those of the interior", used by the Gitksan and Nisga'a to refer to the Athabaskan-speaking people, including the Tsetsaut and some Tahltan and Sekani.
