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:
“My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn’t just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you’ve got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren’t only bombs and bullets—no, they’re little gifts, containing meanings!”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
