Cofan (A'ingae)

Cofan (called "A'ingae" by its own speakers) is an indigenous language of South America, spoken by some 1500 people in the Ecuadorian and Columbian rainforests. Some linguists consider Cofan to be a member of the Chibchan language family, while others consider it to be a language isolate unrelated to any other known language.
