The extinct Hibito鈥揅hol贸n or Chol贸nan languages form a proposed language family that links two languages of Peru, Hibito and Chol贸n. This family was believed to be extinct but in 2021 a native speaker was rediscovered, she is Martha P茅rez Valderrama, she is currently the only known speaker of this family (specifically from the Chol贸n). [1] [2] They may also be related to the extinct Culle language, and perhaps to the language of the Chachapoya, but the data for all of these languages is poor.
Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Kechua, Leko, Mapudungun, Mochika, Kandoshi, Muniche, and Barbakoa language families due to contact. [3]
Several basic Hibito and Cholon words appear to be related, though the data on both languages is poor. The following examples are given in the ad hoc orthography of the three sources we have on these languages:
gloss | tree | water | daughter | son |
---|---|---|---|---|
Chol贸n | mech / me拧 | cot / qu玫t / k枚ta | 帽u / -帽u | pul / -pul |
Hibito | mixs / mit拧 | cachi / ot拧j | 帽oo | pool |
