Maratino is a barely attested extinct language that was spoken in north-east Mexico near Martín Tamaulipas. Swanton who called it ‘Tamaulipeco’ classified it as Uto-Aztecan based on a few obvious cognates such as Maratino chiguat ‘woman’ ~ Nahuatl cihuātl ‘woman’ and peyot ‘peyote’ ~ Nahuatl peyotl but other scholars have not considered this to be enough to classify the language.
