The Choco languages (also Chocoan, Chocó, Chokó) are a small family of Native American languages spread across Colombia and Panama. ==Family division== Choco consists of perhaps ten languages, half of them extinct. *The Emberá languages (also known as Chocó proper, Cholo) * Noanamá (also known as Waunana, Woun Meu) * Anserma ''(†)'' * Cenu ''(†)'' ? * Cauca ''(†)'' * Sinúfana (Cenufara) ''(†)'' ? * Quimbaya (Kimbaya) ''(†)'' (not Choco?) * Caramanta ''(†)'' ? Anserma, Cenu, Cauca, Sinúfana, and Kimbaya are all extinct now. Quimbaya is known from only 8 words. The Emberá group consists of two languages mainly in Colombia with over 60,000 speakers that lie within a fairly mutually intelligible dialect continuum. Ethnologue divides this into 6 languages. Kaufman (1994) considers the term ''Cholo'' to be vague and condescending. Noanamá has some 6,000 speakers on the Panama-Colombia border. Kaufman (1994) states that Quimbaya may not be a Choco language. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Choco languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
