== History == One of eight languages within the [[Ohlone languages|Ohlone]] branch of the [[Utian languages|Utian family]], it became one of two important native languages spoken at the [[Mission San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo]] founded in 1770, the other being the [[Esselen language]]. The last fluent speaker of Rumsen was [[Isabel Meadows]],<ref name="Hinton430">[https://books.google.com/books?id=nq5dzUTSiBsC&pg=PA430 Hinton 2001:430]</ref> who died in 1939. The [[Bureau of American Ethnology]] linguist [[John Peabody Harrington]] conducted very extensive fieldwork with Meadows in the last several years of her life. These notes, still mostly unpublished, now constitute the foundation for current linguistic research and revitalization efforts on the Rumsen language.<ref name="Hinton430" /> The Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe has been in the process of reestablishing their language. They have begun efforts to teach their tribal members Rumsen and are working to complete a revised English - Rumsen Dictionary.{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}}
