Ethnologue either is treating Skagit, Salish, Snohomish, and Lushootseed
as different languages, or else can't count.

All of the coastal dialects are extremely threatened, but the tribal
authorities are trying to retain/restore the tribal language, as part of
their cultural heritage.

It just surprises me that there would be a translation in the late 19th
century into Montana Salish, but nothing in any of the related dialects
since then.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a copy of the Lord's Prayer in Duwamish.
