Guanche language
Guanche is an extinct language that was spoken by the Guanches of the Canary Islands until the 16th or 17th century. It is only known today through a few sentences and individual words recorded by early travellers, supplemented by several placenames, as well as some words assimilated into the Canary Islanders' Spanish. Relationships with other languages have therefore been difficult to determine with certainty.
==Classification==
Guanche has not been classified with any certaintly. Many linguists propose that Guanche is likely to be a Berber language, or at least to be related to the Berber languages.〔Richard Hayward, 2000, "Afroasiatic", in Heine & Nurse eds, ''African Languages,'' Cambridge University Press〕〔Andrew Dalby, ''Dictionary of Languages'', 1998, p. 88 "Guanche, indigenous language of the Canary Islands, is generally thought to have been a Berber language."〕〔Bynon J., "The contribution of linguistics to history in the field of Berber studies." In: Dalby D, (editor) ''Language and history in Africa'' New York: Africana Publishing Corporation, 1970, p 64-77.〕
However, recognizable Berber words are primarily agricultural or livestock vocabulary, whereas no Berber grammatical inflections have been identified. It may be that Guanche had a stratum of Berber vocabulary but was otherwise unrelated to Berber.〔Marteen Kossman, (Berber subclassification (preliminary version) ), Leiden (2011)〕
