The Dakelh (ᑕᗸᒡ) or Carrier language is a Northern Athabaskan language. It is named after the Dakelh people, a First Nations people of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, commonly known as Carrier. The term Carrier has been applied to languages including Babine-Witsuwit'en, but current usage among linguists excludes Babine-Witsuwit'en, which is considered a sister language.
