Páez (also Paez, Páes, Paes, Paisa, autonym: Nasa Yuwe, which is becoming increasingly used) is a language isolate of Colombia spoken by Páez people in the central Andes region near Popayán. The Ethnologue estimates about 71,400 to 83,300 speakers(2000 SIL), among which are counted 35,700 to 41,650 monolinguals of an ethnic population of 122,638.

[edit] Genealogical relations

Páez is often connected with the poorly documented and extinct Panzaleo and Andaquí in a hypothetical Paezan grouping. Some proposals include the Coconucan languages, which is now usually placed as a sub-family under Barbacoan. Páez (and/or the Paezan family) is often grouped together with the Barbacoan family. More distant proposals group Páez (Paezan) with Chibchan languages in a Macro-Chibchan phylum.
