Pericú is the extinct language and essentially unattested language of the southern tip of Baja California. Jesuit missionaries recognized it as distinct from Waikuri (Guaycura) immediately to the north. It was spoken in the mountainous area around the mission of San José del Cabo on the southeastern coast from Santiago to La Paz and on the islands off the east coast as far north as Isla San José.Data is extremely limited amounting to only four words and ten place names.
