Ohlone The Ohlone, named Costanoan by early Spanish colonists (the Spanish word "costa" means "coast"), are a Native American people of the Northern California coast.

At that time they spoke a variety of related languages. The Ohlone languages belonged to the Costanoan sub-family of the Utian language family, which itself belongs to the proposed Penutian language phylum.
