In Steven Spielberg's film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), Indiana Jones identifies Koihoma language on a mysterious letter written by Harold Oxley, although he explains to Mutt Williams that nobody speaks that language anymore. He quite contradictorily defines it a "Latin American language" that became extinct centuries before Spanish and Portuguese were introduced to the Americas.
