Preferred marriage was within each local tribe, except for chiefly families. There were two dialects, but each local tribe must maintained and negotiated tribal identity with distinctive speech. More extensive treatment is given of Esselen phonology and morphosyntax than any previous work on Esselen. New information includes Esselen music, complete treatment of Esselen dialects (Western, Eastern), and the Hokan character of Esselen. Terrence Kaufman's seminal work on comparative Hokan allows for a better understanding of Esselen structure and linguistic prehistory. About 70% of the traceable Esselen morphemes have Hokan etymologies; the rest were borrowed from Uto-Aztecan, Utian, and Chumashan.
