Comecrudo, alsoYué, is an extinctComecrudan language ofMexico. The nameComecrudo isSpanish for "eat-raw". It was best recorded in a list of 148 words in 1829 by FrenchbotanistJean Louis Berlandier (Berlandier called it "Mulato") (Berlandieret al. 1828–1829). It was spoken on the lower Rio Grande nearReynosa,Tamaulipas, inMexico. Comecrudo has often been considered aCoahuiltecan language although most linguists now consider the relationship between them unprovable due to the lack of information.
Comecrudo tribal names were recorded in 1748 (Saldivar 1943):
In 1861, German Adolph Uhde published a travelogue with some vocabulary (Uhde called the languageCarrizo, Spanish for "reed") (Uhde 1861: 185–186). In 1886,Albert Gatschet recorded vocabulary, sentences, and a short text from the descendants (who were not fluent) of the last Comecrudo speakers nearCamargo,Tamaulipas, atLas Prietas (Swanton 1940: 55–118). The best of these consultants were Emiterio, Joaquin, and Andrade.
An automated computational analysis (ASJP 4) by Müller et al. (2013)[1] found lexical similarities withUto-Aztecan, likely due to borrowings.
