  • Tiipai (Southern Diegueño) — Baja California, Mexico; Southern California, United States (Jamul variety)
  • Cocopa — Arizona, United States; Sonora, Mexico (Note: dotted consonants, such as ṣ, are written as ss, while ł is is written as ll.)
  • Kiliwa (Spanish orthography used) — Baja California, Mexico
  • Chumash, Inezeño (Samala) — Southern California, United States

Note: Additional vocabulary words have been added after word no. 207 ("name"), since the original lengths of Swadesh lists are either 100 or 207 words.
