Coahuilteco (also Pajalate) was a language isolate that was spoken in southern Texas (United States) and northeastern Coahuila (Mexico). It was spoken by one tribe of a group of American Indian hunter-gatherers named the Quems.
Coahuilteco is now extinct.
Famous quotes containing the word language:
““What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
The first at least of these I thought denied
To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
Created mute to all articulate sound;
The latter I demur, for in their looks
Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
