Sanavirón language
Extinct language of Argentina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanavirón is an extinct and unclassified language once spoken near the Salinas Grandes in Córdoba, Argentina. Loukotka (1968)[1] classified it as a language isolate, but there is insufficient data to justify this according to Campbell (2012, 2024).[2][3] Previous classifications have linked it with Comechingón, Cacán, or Lule–Vilela.[4] Despite its status as a lengua general during the Spanish colonial administration, very little is known of it, only about six or seven words.[5][3]
