Barbacoan languages

The kinship between Kokonuk and others was first noted in [Brinton 1891], but then the research followed the wrong path after [Beuchat et Rivet 1910b], which combined Kokonuk with paes and panicitism (based on the list of pseudo-language words of Moges) into one group of Chibchan languages and the rest of the Barbacoan languages ​​in another. They were then separated from the Chibchansky, but the “Paes-Barbacoan family” existed up to the works of [Constenla Umaña 1991] and [Curnow & Liddicoat 1998], which substantiated on the one hand the absence of close kinship with the Paez language, and on the other hand, close ties inside the barbacoan languages. There is also proposed division into sowing. and south. branches, and languages ​​inside the south are noticeably closer to each other than inside the north.

Includes 8 languages, including 4 living, 3 almost unapproved:

I. Northern branch

A. Avan group (Ava)

1. Ava-pit (coiker, quayker; Awa Pit, Cuaiquer, Coaiquer, Kwaiker, Awá, Awa, Telembi, Sindagua, Awa-Cuaiquer, Koaiker, Telembí) - only 14.6 thousand [Arango y Sánchez 1998], only part speaks the language.

2. Pasto (pasto-muellama) (†) - carriers switched to Spanish, but continue to live in the south of the dep. Narinho (Colombia): southwest of Pasto ; and on the NE. prov. Karchi ( Ecuador ); incl. years Tucerres , Tulcan and Ipiales . Ava pit was supposed to be close.

* Pasto (Pasto, Past Awá) (†) ??

* Muellama (Muellama, Muellamués, Muelyama) (†) ??

3. Barbacoa ( Barbacoas ^[1] ) (†) - Colombia [C. dep. Narinho ]: in the district of the city of Barbacoas (Barbacoas), to S. from the language of Ava-Pit, possibly his doctor. Gave the name to the whole family.

B. Kokonuk group (guambiano-totoro)

4. Kokonuk language - about 10 thousand speakers. Adverbs of a given language are often considered separate languages, but for this they are too close [Adelaar 2004: 141]. Apparently they are the remains of the people represented by the Federation of Pubens (Pubenza), who controlled the territory. around the city of Popayan to the arrival of the Spaniards.

• guambiano (soldered; Mogües, Moguez, Mogés, Wam, Misak, Guambiano-Moguez, Wambiano-Mogés, Moguex)
• totoro (Polindara) - only 4 carriers out of 3,600 in the ethnic group
• Kokonuko (Kokonuko, Cauca, Wanaka) (†)
• Moges (Mogueh; Moguex; mogés, moguez) is a pseudo- language represented by a list of words, which is actually a mixture of words in paes and guambiano. He became the cause of long-standing views on the existence of the Paes-Barbacoan family, disproved in [Curnow 1998].

5. Guanaca ( † ) ?? - the language of the people known in the colonial period in the neighborhood of guambiano; possibly related to Kokonuk. Guanaca Province was located south of the village of Pasto . ^[2]

II. South Branch (Cayapa Colorado)

6. Chapalachi ( Kayapa , Tsachi; Cha'palaachi, Cayapa, Chachi, Kayapa, Nigua, Cha'pallachi) - 4 thousand carriers (Vittadello 1988). Ecuador [Prov. Esmeraldas ]: 5 enclaves in forests along the ocean: on the river. Kayapas with tributaries (Onsole, Kananda, Susio, Kohimies, etc.). In the col. period migrated from the foothills closer to the sea.

7. Tsafiki (Colorado; Tsafiki, Tsafiqui, Tsáfiki, Colorado, Tsáchela, Tsachila, Campaz, Colima) - 2100 people. (1999 SIL). Ecuador: near the cities. Santo Domingo [Z. prov. Pichincha ] and Quevedo [S. prov. Los Rios ]. Separated from chachi approx. 1 thousand years ago; in the colon. period migrated from the foothills closer to the sea.

8. Kara (Caranqui, Cara, Kara, Karanki, Imbaya) (†) ?? - Ecuador [V. prov. Imbabur ; ST Pichincha ]: by rr. Peace and Chota to the city of Quito , incl. years Otavalo, Kayamba and Ibarra. Driven by (imbabur) Quechua in the 18th century. Toponyms and names have been preserved in historical documents, on the basis of which an assumption is made of kinship with pasto and tsafiki, but there is little evidence [Caillavet 2000].
