Comechingón language

Comechingón is an extinct language once spoken by the Comechingón people in what is now Córdoba and San Luis provinces in Argentina. It is poorly documented, and only a few words are known with confidence. The language’s family is unclear; it might be part of the Huarpean group or related to Cacán, and some have linked it to the supposed isolate Sanavirón. It likely had two dialects, Henia and Camiare, named after the two Comechingón groups. Comechingón is thought to have influenced the Cordobés Spanish spoken in the area. With so little data, its exact connections to other languages remain uncertain, and much of the vocabulary has no known meaning.
