If the Salishan languages are all historically connected (as linguists have speculated) can you tell how long ago it was that they were all one language? In fact, it is probably too hard to tell with any precision. Every language in history will slowly change over time (you probably can see some slight differences even between your children's speech in English, and your own), but the rate of change is not always constant. Sometimes many changes will happen quickly, other times the rate of change will be much slower, so any precise calculation, in the absence of written records, is likely to be inaccurate.
The idea that it would take some thousands of years for the Salishan languages to have evolved to their current state is reasonable, but a more precise estimate is quite difficult.
