Tachi is an endangered dialect of Southern Valley Yokuts historically spoken north of Tulare Lake in the Central Valley of California. A. L. Kroeber estimated that Tachi was, at one point, one of the most widely spoken Yokutsan dialects.[2]

As of 2019, a few individuals of the Santa Rosa Rancheria are reportedly able to speak Tachi.[1][3]
