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:
“There’s a cool web of language winds us in,
Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
