Tallán language
Extinct unclassified language of Peru From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tallán, or Atalán, is an extinct and poorly attested language of the Piura Region of Peru. It is too poorly known to be definitively classified. It may have a possible connection to neighboring Sechura, termed the Sek languages.
In Glottolog and in Jolkesky (2016), the two attested Catacaoan languages, Catacao and Colán, are listed as dialects of Tallán.[2][1]
Dialects
Mason (1950) lists Apichiquí, Cancebí, Charapoto, Pichote, Pichoasac, Pichunsi, Manabí, Jarahusa, and Jipijapa as dialects of Atalán.[3]
Rivet (1924) lists Manta, Huancavilca, Puna, and Tumbez within an Atalán family.[4]
