Culle (Cullí, Kulyi), also known as Ilinga (Linga), is a poorly attested extinct language of northern Peru. It is the original language of the highlands of La Libertad Region and Cajamarca Region (Cajabamba, and Pallasca). It is known through various word lists collected while the language was still spoken and through vocabulary loaned into the Spanish spoken in the region.[1]
Vocabulary
What little is known of the Culle language consists mostly of vocabulary. A sample list of words is given by Loutkotka; some of these are presented here:[2]
- ahhi – woman
- čallua – fish
- ču – head
- čukuáll – heart
- koñ, goñ – water
- kumú – drink
- mú – fire
- múñ – moon
- urú – tree
- usú – man
Classification
Because it is poorly attested, it has not been possible to definitively classify Culle.
