Proto-Utājen emerged from the most conservative dialect of [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]]. Therefore, many of the phonological features in [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]] have been retained, including the three-way plain/palatized/labialized distinction, as well as many morphological features. Like [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]], we do not know exactly what Proto-Utājen sounded like; however, this is the first of the daughter languages to actually be written down, dating back to 1,500 BC, and therefore one of the more accurate "reconstructions" of [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]]'s daughter languages. Because it is also one of the more conservative dialects, and because it was written down, we can get a feeling of what [[Proto-Ōšqʷiť]] was like, and what it would have looked like written down.

Like Proto-Ōšqʷiť, we do not know exactly what Proto-Utājen sounded like; however, this is the first of the daughter languages to actually be written down, dating back to 1,500 BC, and therefore one of the more accurate "reconstructions" of Proto-Ōšqʷiť's daughter languages.
