The extinct Manguean languages were a branch of the Oto-Manguean family. They were Chorotega of Costa Rica and Nicaragua (where it was called Mangue or Monimbo), and Chiapanec of Mexico. According to Kaufman (1974), linguistic evidence points to a separation between these two languages around AD 600-700. Based on archaeological and linguistic evidence, it is often theorized that these languages originated in what is now the Mexican state of Puebla before migrating southeast to Chiapas in the late Classic period.[1]
