Patagón (Patagón de Perico, not to be confused with theChonan languages ofTierra del Fuego andPatagonia) is an extinct language formerly spoken in theMarañón River basin in Peru. It is known from only four words.
Four words are recorded,tuná 'water',anás 'maize',viue 'firewood',coará 'sheep' (evidently the word for 'sloth'). These suggest that Patagón was one of theCariban languages, particularly close toCarijona,[1] and therefore, like the Jivaroan (Chicham) languageAguaruna, from the Amazon.[2]
