Xinca Words (Xinka)

Welcome to our Xinca vocabulary page! Xinca is a language isolate, not related to any of the other languages of Central America. We have included twenty basic Xinca words here, to compare with related American Indian languages. You can find more Xinca Indian words in our online picture glossaries. If you'd like to know an Xinca word that is not in these wordlists, you can take part in our Native American Indian words fundraiser or visit our main Xinca site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
