The Serran, or Serrano-Gabrielino, languages are a branch of the Northern Uto-Aztecan family comprising several now-extinct or nearly extinct indigenous languages of southern California, including Serrano proper, Kitanemuk and Tongva. Scholars have debated whether the group forms part of the Takic subgroup, since some of its shared features may reflect borrowing between neighboring languages rather than common descent.
