Pre-contact distribution of the Malibu languages

The Malibu languages are a poorly attested group of extinct languages once spoken along the Magdalena River in Colombia. Material exists only for two of the numerous languages mentioned in the literature: Malibú and Mocana.

Classification

The Malibu languages have previously been grouped with the Chimila language within the Chibchan languages.[2] However, Adelaar & Muysken regard the grouping of Chimila with the Malibu languages as "without any factual basis".[3]

Family division

Rivet listed three Malibu tribes, each with its own language:[4]

  • Malibú,[5] spoken near the Magdalena River from Tamalameque to Tenerife
  • Mocaná (Oruck[6]),[7][8] spoken by the Mokaná people in the region east of Cartagena (Rivet 1947b; Simón 1882-1892, vol. 4, p. 298, only two words.)
  • Pacabuey, also known as Sompallón or Laguna Malibu, spoken near the Zapatoza lagoon (Unattested.)[9]

To this list, Loukotka adds six more languages, all of which are unattested (excluding Chimila):[2]

  • Papale, spoken on the Fundación River
  • Coanoa or Guanoa, spoken on the Cesar River
  • Zamirua, spoken on the Ariguaní River
  • Cospique, spoken somewhere in the Department of Magdalena
  • Mompox, spoken near the city of Santa Cruz de Mompox (attested per Rivet 1947)[4]
  • Calamari, spoken along the coast south of Cartagena to Coveñas
