Map of the Quimbaya language

Quimbaya (Kimbaya) is a poorly attested, extinct language of Colombia. It is suspected to have been spoken by the Quimbaya.[1] Only a single word is known,[2] but other sources report up to 10 words possibly attributed.[3] This is insufficient to establish Quimbaya as a distinct language.
