Maratino Tamaulipeco Spoken in NE Mexico Extinct ? Language family unclassifiedLanguage codes ISO 639-3 – Linguist List q06 The location of Maratino in Tamaulipas stateMaratino is a barely attested extinct language that was spoken in north-east Mexico, near Martín, Tamaulipas. Swanton, who called it 'Tamaulipeco', classified it as Uto-Aztecan based on a few obvious cognates, such as Maratino chiguat 'woman' ~ Nahuatl cihuātl 'woman' and peyot 'peyote' ~ Nahuatl peyotl, but other scholars have not considered this to be enough to classify the language.
