Tolatecan is a proposal by Campbell and Oltrogge (1980) linking two language families of Mesoamerica, Tequistlatecan (Chontal of Oaxaca) and Tol/Jicaque languages of Honduras.[1] Later, Campbell (1997) said that Tolatecan is not likely to be a valid language family.[2]
Both Tequistlatecan and Tol have been at times also included in the larger Hokan proposal, but without any especial relationship within it.
