The conventional three-way split into Northern, Pacific Coast, and Southern is essentially based on geography and the physical distribution of Athabaskan peoples rather than sound linguistic comparisons. Despite this inadequacy, current comparative Athabaskan literature demonstrates that most Athabaskanists still use the three-way geographic grouping rather than any of the proposed linguistic groupings given below, because none of them has been widely accepted.

Details of the Athabaskan family tree should be regarded as tentative. As Tuttle and Hargus put it, "we do not consider the points of difference between the two models ... to be decisively settled and in fact expect them to be debated for some time to come." (Tuttle & Hargus 2004:74) </p><p>The Northern group is particularly problematic in its internal organization. Due to the failure of the usual criteria of shared innovation and systematic phonetic correspondences to provide well-defined subgroupings, the Athabaskan family – especially the Northern group – has been called a "cohesive complex" by <a href="/wiki/Michael_E._Krauss" title="Michael E. Krauss">Michael Krauss</a> (1973, 1982). Therefore, the <i>Stammbaumtheorie</i> or family tree model of genetic classification may be inappropriate. The languages of the Southern branch are much more homogeneous and are the only clearly genealogical subgrouping. </p><p>Debate continues as to whether the Pacific Coast languages form a valid genealogical grouping, or whether this group may instead have internal branches that are tied to different subgroups in Northern Athabaskan. The position of <a href="/wiki/Kwalhioqua%E2%80%93Clatskanai" class="mw-redirect" title="Kwalhioqua–Clatskanai">Kwalhioqua–Clatskanai</a> is also debated, since it may fall in either the Pacific Coast group – if that exists – or into the Northern group. The records of <a href="/wiki/Nicola_Athapaskans" title="Nicola Athapaskans">Nicola</a> are so poor – Krauss describes them as "too few and too wretched" (Krauss 2005) – that it is difficult to make any reliable conclusions about it. Nicola may be intermediate between Kwalhioqua–Tlatskanai and <a href="/wiki/Chilcotin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Chilcotin language">Chilcotin</a>. </p><p>Similarly to Nicola, there is very limited documentation on <a href="/wiki/Tsetsaut_language" title="Tsetsaut language">Tsetsaut</a>. Consequently, it is difficult to place it in the family with much certainty. Athabaskanists have concluded that it is a Northern Athabaskan language consistent with its geographical occurrence, and that it might have some relation to its distant neighbor Tahltan. Tsetsaut, however, shares its primary hydronymic suffix ("river, stream") with Sekani, Beaver, and Tsuut'ina – PA *-ɢah – rather than with that of Tahltan, Tagish, Kaska, and North and South Tutchone – PA *-tuʼ (Kari 1996; Kari, Fall, & Pete 2003:39). The ambiguity surrounding Tsetsaut is why it is placed in its own subgroup in the Rice–Goddard–Mithun classification. </p><p>For detailed lists including languages, dialects, and subdialects, see the respective articles on the three major groups: <a href="/wiki/Northern_Athabaskan" class="mw-redirect" title="Northern Athabaskan">Northern Athabaskan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Coast_Athabaskan" class="mw-redirect" title="Pacific Coast Athabaskan">Pacific Coast Athabaskan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Southern_Athabaskan" class="mw-redirect" title="Southern Athabaskan">Southern Athabaskan</a>.

The <a href="/wiki/Urheimat" class="mw-redirect" title="Urheimat">urheimat</a> of the Athabaskan family is most likely in the <a href="/wiki/Tanana_Valley" title="Tanana Valley">Tanana Valley</a> of east-central Alaska. There are many homologies between Proto-Athabaskan vocabulary and patterns reflected in archaeological sites such as Upward Sun, Swan Point and Broken Mammoth (Kari 2010). The Northern Athabaskan group also contains the most linguistically conservative languages, particularly Koyukon, Ahtna, Dena'ina, and Dakelh/Carrier (Leer 2008). </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1116488514"><div class="treeview"> <ul><li><b>Northern Athabaskan</b> <ul><li><i>Southern Alaskan subgroup</i> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Ahtna_language" title="Ahtna language">Ahtna</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Dena%27ina_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Dena'ina language">Dena'ina</a></b> (also known as Tanaina, Kenaitze)</li></ul></li> <li><i>Central Alaska–Yukon subgroup</i> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Deg_Xinag_language" title="Deg Xinag language">Deg Xinag</a></b> (also known as Deg Hitʼan, Ingalik (deprecated))</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Holikachuk_language" title="Holikachuk language">Holikachuk</a></b> (also known as Innoko)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Koyukon_language" title="Koyukon language">Koyukon</a></b> (also known as Denaakkʼe, Tenʼa)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Upper_Kuskokwim_language" title="Upper Kuskokwim language">Upper Kuskokwim</a></b> (also known as Kolchan)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Lower_Tanana_language" title="Lower Tanana language">Lower Tanana</a> and Middle Tanana</b> (also known as Tanana)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Tanacross_language" title="Tanacross language">Tanacross</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Upper_Tanana" class="mw-redirect" title="Upper Tanana">Upper Tanana</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Tutchone_language" title="Tutchone language">Southern Tutchone</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Tutchone_language" title="Tutchone language">Northern Tutchone</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Gwich%27in_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Gwich'in language">Gwich'in</a></b> (also known as Kutchin, Loucheux, Tukudh)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/H%C3%A4n_language" title="Hän language">Hän</a></b> (also known as Han)</li></ul></li> <li><i>Northwestern Canada subgroup</i> <ul><li>Tahltan–Tagish–Kaska (also known as "Cordilleran") <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Tagish_language" title="Tagish language">Tagish</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Tahltan_language" title="Tahltan language">Tahltan</a></b> (also known as Nahanni)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Kaska_language" title="Kaska language">Kaska</a></b> (also known as Nahanni)</li></ul></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Sekani_language" title="Sekani language">Sekani</a></b> (also known as Tsekʼehne)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Dane-zaa_language" title="Dane-zaa language">Dane-zaa</a></b> (also known as Beaver)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Slavey_language" title="Slavey language">Slave–Hare</a></b> <ul><li>Slavey (also known as Southern Slavey)</li> <li>Mountain (Northern Slavey)</li> <li>Bearlake (Northern Slavey)</li> <li>Hare (Northern Slavey)</li></ul></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Dogrib_language" title="Dogrib language">Dogrib</a></b> (also known as Tłįchǫ Yatiì)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Dene_Suline_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Dene Suline language">Dene Suline</a></b> (also known as Chipewyan, Dëne Sųłiné, Dene Soun'liné)</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul> </div> <p>Very little is known about Tsetsaut, and for this reason it is routinely placed in its own tentative subgroup. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1116488514"><div class="treeview"> <ul><li><ul><li><i>Tsetsaut subgroup</i> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Tsetsaut_language" title="Tsetsaut language">Tsetsaut</a></b> (also known as Tsʼetsʼaut, Wetalh)</li></ul></li> <li><i>Central British Columbia subgroup</i> (also known as "British Columbian" in contrast with "Cordilleran" = Tahltan–Tagish–Kaska) <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Babine-Witsuwit%27en_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Babine-Witsuwit'en language">Babine–Witsuwit'en</a></b> (also known as Northern Carrier, Bulkley Valley/Lakes District)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Carrier_language" title="Carrier language">Dakelh</a></b> (also known as Carrier)</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Chilcotin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Chilcotin language">Chilcotin</a></b> (also known as Tsilhqot'in)</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul> </div> <p>The Nicola language is so poorly attested that it is impossible to determine its position within the family.
