Congratulations are due to Professor Emeritus Cathy Callaghan, who has recently published her book, Proto Utian Grammar and Dictionary with Notes on Yokuts (http://www.degruyter.com/view/product/181119).   The book is the culmination of over 50 years of scholarship on the Proto Utian family of California Indian languages, and demonstrates how the languages of the Miwok and Costanoan families are related and how they descended from Proto Utian. It is a much-needed reference for: (1) people of Miwok and Costanoan descent who are interested in reviving or revitalizing their languages and cultures; (2) linguists studying Native American languages; (3) anthropologists studying prehistoric cultures, migrations, and intercultural contact; (4) historical linguists interested in language change; and (5) linguistic theoreticians and typologists interested in particular features of Utian languages.  The project has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation. 

Wonderful news, Cathy.
