Xinca Language
Xinca (Szinca) is a small family of Mesoamerican languages, now extinct, once spoken by the indigenous Xinca people in southeastern Guatemala. The languages have no demonstrated affiliations with other language families. Although Lehmann (1920) tried linking Xincan with Lencan, this proposal has not been proven so far.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
