Anserma language

Anserma (Anserna, Umbra) is a Chocoan language of Colombia. Dialects included Caramanta and Cartama. Glottolog states that an alternative name for it is Umbra [es], spoken by the Umbrá people [es].

The language was thought to be extinct until 7 families were found to speak it in 2011.

Jolkesky (2016) also notes that there are lexical similarities with the Barbacoan languages due to contact.

Few words of Anserma have been preserved. Below are listed some of the known words of the Anserma language.
