Alsea is classified as one of the Oregon Penutian languages, yet its subject pronominal system, when one extracts apparent borrowings and late formations of all dual forms, matches that of Proto-Salishan almost exactly. A few other grammatical affixes and a small amount of vocabulary also look similar between Alsea and Salish. Nevertheless, the number of similarities between Alsea and its southern neighbor Siuslaw seems to be greater. These appear to point more strongly to a probable relationship between these two languages, rather than to one with Salish, although the identity of Alsea and Salishan pronominal elements remains unexplained.
