Brief Description: An extinct Native American language of northeastern Mexico. Survived until 19th century AD. wordlists 1829-1886 AD. "Comecrudan was a family of three languages that were formerly spoken along the lower Rio Grande River in southern Texas and northern Mexico. Comecrudo is documented by two short wordlists collected in 1829 and 1861 and by a substantial vocabulary collected in 1886. Mamulique and Garza are attested in one short wordlist from 1829. Although earlier thought to be part of a postulated 'Coahuiltecan' family, Comecrudan is not now considered to be related to any other family."
