Loucheux. The Kutchin speaking the dialect of the Tukkuthkutchin. This language, which resembles more nearly the Chipewyan than the intervening Etatchogottine and Kawchogottine dialects, is spoken by the Tatlitkutchin, Vuntakutchin, Kutchakutchin, and Trosikkutchin (...) The term was extended by the Hudson's Bay Co men to include all the Kutchin, though the Tukkuthkutchin, or they and the Tatlitkutchin together constituted the Loucheux proper.
