Chicomuceltec language
Chicomuceltec (also ''Chikomuselteko'' or ''Chicomucelteco''; archaically, ''Cotoque'') is a Mayan language formerly spoken in the region defined by the ''municipios'' of Chicomuselo, Mazapa de Madero, and Amatenango de la Frontera in Chiapas, Mexico, as well as some nearby areas of Guatemala. By the 1970s–80s it had become extinct, with recent reports in Mayanist literature finding that there are no living native speakers.〔See Campbell and Canger (1978); Ethnologue entry on "Chicomuceltec" (Gordon 2005).〕 Communities of contemporary Chicomucelteco descendants, numbering approximately 1500 persons in Mexico and 100 in Guatemala〔See Gordon (2005) for population estimates, which draw on sources collected in the early 1980s.〕 are Spanish speakers.
Chicomuceltec was formerly sometimes called Cakchiquel Mam, although it is only distantly related to the Cakchiquel or Mam, being much closer to Wastek (Huastec).
==History and genealogy==
The Chicomuceltec language was first documented in modern linguistic literature as a distinct language in the late 19th century, where it appeared in an account published by linguist Karl Sapper of his travels in northern Mesoamerica 1888–95.〔The work in question is Sapper 1897, with later expansions to the material appearing in Sapper 1912; as cited in Dienhart (1997), ("Data sources listed by author" ).〕
Chicomuceltec's relationship with Wastek was established in the late 1930s (Kroeber 1939), which concluded via word-list comparisons with other Mayan languages that it bore a higher degree of affinity with Wastek than other Mayan language branches.〔See ''précis'' of Kroeber 1939, appearing in Fernández de Miranda (1968), pp.74–75.〕
