Tags: Language.

Cochimí was once the language of the greater part Baja California as attested by Jesuit documents of the 18th century. It seems to have become extinct around the beginning of the 20th century.[citation needed] There were two main dialects northern and southern; the dividing line was approximately at the Misión San Ignacio Kadakaamán in the north of present-day Baja California Sur.The Jesuit texts establish that the language was related to the Yuman languages of the Colorado River region.
