Definition

  • (Eastern) Jicaque, also known as Tol, Tolupan, and Torupan, is a language spoken by some 300 Tolupan people in La Montaña del Flor, Honduras. In the 16th century it extended to cover much of western Yoro. There are two Tolan languages, Eastern Jicaque or Tol and Western Jicaque, which had been spoken around El Palmar, Deptment of Cortés, but which is now extinct. These are close enough to be considered dialects of a single language by some linguists.
