There are approximately a dozen Yuman languages. The extinct
Cochimí, attested from the 18th century, was identified after the rest of the family had been established, and was found to be more divergent. The resulting family was therefore called
Yuman–Cochimí, with
Yuman being the extra-Cochimí languages. •

Paipai (a.k.a. Akwaala; possibly distinct from the Upland Yuman language only at the dialect level) Cochimí and Halchidhoma are
extinct. Cucapá is the Spanish name for the Cocopa. Diegueño is the Spanish name for Ipai–Kumeyaay–Tipai, now often referred to collectively as
Kumeyaay. Upland Yuman consists of several mutually intelligible dialects spoken by the politically distinct Yavapai, Hualapai, and Havasupai. ==Proto-language== {{Infobox proto-language
Urheimat Mauricio Mixco of the
University of Utah points to a relative lack of reconstructible Proto-Yuman terms for aquatic phenomena as evidence against a coastal, lacustrine, or riverine
Urheimat.
