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:
“As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
