I saw this and thought I'd bring it here. While it might not be from a stringent enough source for some, it's a very interesting article and worth a read.

I'd particularly be interested in hearing from anybody trained in linguistics who reviews this article. It makes intuitive sense at some level, and I don't have to have my arm twisted to have a hunch that our friends may be able to make gutteral utterances (as I've recorded several of them), but I'm curious but not convinced about the claim that it is a prototypical or native american derivative language from Chehalis and related backward in time to other tongues across the globe.

Even if true how to make sense of the wails, howls and grunts heard in alleged BF recordings?

Good question. Maybe those wails, howls, grunts, etc. are just for a specific message that can be heard from a farther distance than normal talking.

The Douglas dialect.
