Toquegua

Toquegua

Toquegua is the name of a group of people, and a language, spoken along the Atlantic coast of Guatemala from the area around the mouth of the Golfo Dulce to the mouth of the Motagua river. Feldman (1975), largely based on unpublished notes of Nicholas Helmuth conserved in the American Philosophical Society, concludes that Toquegua is a Ch'ol Mayan-related language.
