Other comments: Karankawa /kəˈræŋkəwə/
is the extinct, unclassified language of the Texas coast, where the
Karankawa people migrated between the mainland and the barrier islands.
It was not closely related to other known languages in the area, many of
which are also poorly attested, and may have been a language isolate. A
couple hundred words are preserved, collected in 1698, 1720, and 1828;
in the 1880s, three lists were collected from non-Karankawa who knew
some words. Karankawa has only recorded traditional numerals from 1 to 10 years ago, not sure if they were used a traditional decimal or vigesimal system before, New data for numbers after ten is required. |
