The present paper offers the first (published) linguistic analysis of an aspect of the grammar of Quinault, an extinct Salish language. It is based on a virtually unstudied language corpus, involving field notes made by various authors since the 1850s and audio‐recordings made in the 1960s. Quinault has been classified as belonging to the Tsamosan branch, the least studied division of the Salish language family. This paper presents the Quinault pronominal system and compares it to that of Upper Chehalis and Cowlitz, two other Tsamosan languages. The Quinault subject system is found not to share the aspect‐determined division into subject enclitics and subject suffixes that distinguishes the Upper Chehalis and Cowlitz system from the rest of the Salish family. Moreover, the use of subject markers indicates a partial merger of the Stative and the Continuative aspects in Quinault
