The Maya–Yunga–Chipayan languages are a proposed macrofamily linking the Chimuan, Uru–Chipaya, and Mayan language families of the Americas. The macrofamily was proposed by Stark (1972). [1] However, it has not gained widespread acceptance among linguists.
Stark's (1972) classification is as follows. [1]
Tovar (1961), [2] partly based on Schmidt (1926), [3] adds Tallán ( Sechura–Catacao) to Chimuan (which he calls Yunga-Puruhá). Tovar's (1961) classification below is cited from Stark (1972). [1]
Stark (1972) proposed a Maya–Yunga–Chipayan macrofamily linking Mayan with Uru–Chipaya and Yunga (Mochica), based on the following lexical comparisons. [1]
