Solano is an unclassified extinct language once spoken by the Solano people, possibly including the Terocodame band, near Mission San Francisco Solano in northeastern Mexico close to present-day Eagle Pass, Texas, during the eighteenth century. It survives only as a 21-word vocabulary list recorded in the mission's 1703 to 1708 baptism book, which served several different indigenous peoples of the area, so the vocabulary's exact attribution carries some uncertainty. Comparisons against neighboring languages such as Lipan Apache, Coahuilteco, Comecrudo, Tonkawa and Proto-Uto-Aztecan have found no obvious shared vocabulary, leaving Solano without an established family relationship.
