Solano language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solano is an unclassified extinct language formerly spoken in northeast Mexico and perhaps also in neighboring Texas.
Solano is known only from a 21-word vocabulary list that appears at the end of a 1703-1708 baptism book from the San Francisco Solano mission. Supposedly the language is of the Indians of this mission — perhaps the Terocodame band cluster. The Solano peoples are associated with the 18th-century missions near Eagle Pass, Texas.
