Comecrudo language
Comecrudo is an extinct Pakawan language of Mexico. The name Comecrudo is Spanish for "eat-raw"; Carrizo is Spanish for "reed". It was best recorded in a list of 148 words in 1829 by French botanist Jean Louis Berlandier . It was spoken on the lower Rio Grande near Reynosa, Tamaulipas, in Mexico. Comecrudo has often been considered a Coahuiltecan language although most linguists now consider the relationship between them unprovable due to the lack of information.
Comecrudo tribal names were recorded in 1748 :
In 1861, German Adolph published a travelogue with some vocabulary . In 1886, Albert Gatschet recorded vocabulary, sentences, and a text from the descendants of the last Comecrudo speakers near Camargo, Tamaulipas, at Las Prietas. The best of these consultants were Emiterio, Joaquin, and Andrade.
