Cahuilla is a dying Indian language in Southern California, USA. It is actually not used in everyday conservation but remembered by some elderly people only. Since the 1960s it has been recorded and analyzed by several German scholars. This paper presents the history of research, major methods employed in its study and the current progress as well as remaining topics to be studied.
