Barbacoa Indian Language (Barbacoas)

Barbacoa is an extinct Barbacoan language of Colombia. Despite giving its name to the language family, little is known about Barbacoa because it had disappeared by the 18th century and few records remain of it. It is sometimes spelled Barbacoas, and often grouped together with two other Colombian languages that have been lost to time, known as Pasto and Colima.
