Xincan languages
[2] An automated computational analysis (ASJP 4) by Müller et al. (2013)[3] also found lexical similarities between Xincan and Lencan.[5] According to Campbell, Xinca also has a "vast number of Mixe-Zoquean loanwords", suggesting contact with now extinct Mixe-Zoque varieties of the Guatemalan Pacific coast.It is from this that the names for the town, river, and bridge "Los Esclavos" (The Slaves) are derived in the area of Cuilapa, Santa Rosa.One of the oldest references concerning this language was presented by the archbishop Pedro Cortés y Larraz during a visit to the diocese of Taxisco in 1769.[7] Nonetheless, of the 16,214 Xinca who responded to the 2002 census,[8] 1,283 reported being Xinka speakers, most probably semi-speakers or people who knew a few words and phrases of the languages.
