The Twana (tuwaduq)[3] language, also known as Skokomish, is a Coast Salish language of the Salishan language family, spoken by the Twana, the Indigenous people of Hood Canal, in Washington. The name "Skokomish" is an Anglicization of the Twana word squqəʔbəš and means "river people" or "people of the river".[3][4][5][6]
