Language
Aranama people spoke the Aranama language, a poorly attested language that went extinct in the mid-19th century. It may have been a Coahuiltecan language but remains unclassified.[2]
History
Many Aranama people moved to Mission Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga at its second and third locations.[3] Several times, they left the mission to move north, and occasionally joined the Tawakonis. Each time, the Spanish colonists convinced them to return.[1]
Some Aranama people also joined San Antonio de Valero in San Antonio and Nuestra Señora del Refugio in Refugio.[1]
