Abstract:

This book presents the first grammatical description of Andakí, an
extinct language and presumed isolate once spoken in southern
Colombia. Written in an accessible style, this book is valuable to
both linguists and scholars of South American indigenous cultures.
Although Andakí was documented to some extent in the late 18th and
early 19th centuries, its grammar has never been systematically
analyzed until now. Drawing on sometimes fragmentary data, all made
available in an online database, the book offers the most complete
grammatical description of Andakí to date and highlights connections
to neighboring languages where relevant. This study provides essential
groundwork for future comparative research and contributes to
preserving the linguistic heritage of one of the world’s most
linguistically diverse regions.

Linguistic Field(s): Typology
