Kamsa Indian Language

Kamsa is a language of South America, spoken by about 4000 people in southwest Colombia. Though some linguists have tried to associate it with the Chibchan language family, Kamsa is generally thought to be a language isolate, unrelated to any other known language. Kamsa is a polysynthetic language with a complex morphology.
