The Chibchan languages are a family of languages primarily spoken in Central America and northern South America. This language family includes around 30 languages, with notable members such as Guna, Bribri, and Emberá. These languages are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features, which vary significantly among different groups.
Chibchan languages are predominantly spoken by indigenous communities, and they play a crucial role in preserving cultural identity. Many of these languages are endangered due to external influences and the dominance of Spanish and English in the region. Efforts are being made to revitalize and maintain these languages for future generations.
