Nomlaki (Noamlakee), or Wintun, is a moribund Wintuan language of Northern California. It was not extensively documented, however, some recordings exist of speaker Andrew Freeman and Sylvester Simmons.[2] There is at least one partial speaker left per Golla (2011). Nomlaki Indians, or in their own language Nomlāqa Bōda; nom is ‘west’, and lāqa is a verb form of ‘speak’[3], thus ‘western speakers’ (but ‘western dwellers’, J. Curtin 1898 in F. W. Hodge 1910).
