The Chumash of California were originally a large tribe of perhaps 20,000 people but they have declined considerably in numbers and their language is practically extinct (although there are currently efforts being made to teach the language to tribal members).
The Chumash language is now classified as unlike any other native American language; this also means that no other tribes are very closely related to the Chumash people.
The neighbouring Salinan people share many cultural traits (loose tribal organisation, hunter/gatherer lifestyle, very small local populations and so on) but are not considered to be related.
