Comechingón language

Comechingón is an extinct language, formerly spoken in Argentina by the Comechingón. It is poorly attested, with only a few words known with confidence. It is believed to be either a member of the Huarpean languages, or be related to Cacán. Links have also been made with the supposed language isolate Sanavirón. The absence of Comechingón language data makes determination of its true linguistic affinity impossible.

Comechingón is considered to have two dialects, corresponding to the two subdivisions of the Comechingón people, Henia and Camiare.

Comechingón is believed to have exerted an influence on the Cordobés Spanish dialect currently found where it once was spoken.
