The languages spoken around the missions at Ventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez and La Purisima comprise the most cohesive subgrouping of the Chumash languages, with Ventureño somewhat less closely related to the other three. Scholars refer to these four as the Central Chumash languages.
The various Chumashan languages are generally divided into three subfamilies: Northern Chumash (Obispeño), Island Chumash (Cruzeño, also known as Ysleño), and Central Chumash (Ventureño, Purisimeño, Barbareño, and Ineseño).
Six Chumashan languages are attested, all now extinct. However, most of them are in the process of revitalization, with language programs and classes. Contemporary Chumash people now prefer to refer to their languages by native names rather than the older names based on the local missions.
