Karkin (also called Los Carquines in Spanish) is a name of one sub-group of the indigenous Ohlone people of California, as well as the name of the language they spoke.
Karkin (Los Carquines) was a Utian language in the Ohlone/Costanoan language family that was spoken in Northern California by the division of the Ohlone who who lived in the Carquinez Strait region. It is only documented from a single vocabulary obtained in the late 1700's, and has probably not been spoken for 200 years. Although meager, the records of Karkin show that it constituted a distinct branch of Costanoan which was strikingly different from its neighboring language Chochenyo.
All Costanoan languages went extinct, but some are being studied and revived.
