Nutabe language
Extinct Chibchan language of Colombia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nutabe (Nutabane[citation needed]) is an extinct Chibchan language of Colombia, historically spoken by the Nutabe people.[1]
Adolfo Constenla Umaña[2] also refers to the language as “Antioquian” (referencing the local name of Santa Fe de Antioquia). In this grouping Constenla names both Nutabe and Catío.
Surviving documentation
Very little documentation of Nutabe, or its close relative Old Catío, remains. A 1946 publication by Paul Rivet[3] gathers the short list together, comparing Nutabe and Old Catío. (Rivet pointed out that the label "Catío" had already come to refer to a non-Chibchan language, Catío (Chocoan).
