Kalapuyan (also Kalapuya) is a small extinct language family that was spoken in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon, United States. It consists of three languages.Berman, H. (1990). [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1265442 An Outline of Kalapuya Historical Phonology.] International Journal of American Linguistics, 56(1), 27-59.
The Kalapuya language is currently in a state of revival. Kalapuyan descendants in the southernmost Kalapuya region of Yoncalla, Oregon, published 100 copies of a comprehensive dictionary, with plans to expand.{{Cite web |last=Reece |first=Myers |date=2022-03-06 |title=The quest to save Oregon's Kalapuya: 'You lose a language, you lose a culture' |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2022/03/the-quest-to-save-oregons-kalapuya-you-lose-a-language-you-lose-a-culture.html |access-date=2022-05-14 |website=oregonlive |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Notarianni |first=John |date=2022-04-02 |title=Bringing Oregon's Kalapuya language back from the brink of extinction |url=https://www.opb.org/article/2022/04/02/oregon-kalapuya-language-indigenous-people-willamette-valley-dictionary-native-americans/ |access-date=2022-05-14 |website=opb |language=en}}

Kalapuyan is usually connected with the various Penutian proposals. This was originally part of an Oregon Penutian branch along with Takelma, Siuslaw, Alsea and Coosan.Sapir, E. (1921). [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1263181 A Characteristic Penutian Form of Stem.] International Journal of American Linguistics, 2(1/2), 58-67. A special relationship with Takelma had been proposed, together forming a "Takelma–Kalapuyan" or "Takelman" family.Frachtenberg, L. (1918).
[https://www.jstor.org/stable/1262825 Comparative Studies in Takelman, Kalapuyan and Chinookan Lexicography, a Preliminary Paper]. International Journal of American Linguistics, 1(2), 175-182.Swadesh, M. (1965).
[https://www.jstor.org/stable/1263898 Kalapuya and Takelma]. International Journal of American Linguistics, 31(3), 237-240.Shipley, W. (1969). [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1264690 Proto-Takelman]. International Journal of American Linguistics, 35(3), 226-230.Kendall, D. (1997). [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1265863 The Takelma Verb: Toward Proto-Takelma-Kalapuyan]. International Journal of American Linguistics, 63(1), 1-17. However, an unpublished paper by Tarpent & Kendall (1998)cited in: Mithun, Marianne. (1999). The languages of Native North America, pp. 432-433. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. finds this relationship to be unfounded because of the extremely different morphological structures of Takelma and Kalapuyan.
