Cholon

South American Language Families

Cholon (known natively as Seeptsa) is a language of Peru formerly spoken near Uchiza, in the Huallaga River valley of the Huanuco and San Martin regions. It is usually grouped with the extinct Hibito language in a small Hibito-Cholon family. The last fully fluent speaker, Victoria Cerquera Ojeda, died in 1993, though a small number of partial rememberers of the language have since been documented.
