About: Toquegua

An Entity of Type: IndigenousLanguage106903519, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Toquegua may be the name of a group of people, and a language, spoken along the Atlantic coast of Guatemala and Honduras from the area around the mouth of the Golfo Dulce to the Ulua river in Honduras. It is also an elite indigenous family surname in colonial Honduras, and a place name in the Motagua river valley in 1536. Feldman (1975), largely based on unpublished notes of Nicholas Helmuth conserved in the American Philosophical Society, concludes that Toquegua is a Chʼol Mayan-related language. Sheptak (2007) contests that identification and concludes the people referred to as the Toquegua were multi-lingual, speaking Yucatec, Chʼol, Nahuatl, and Lenca.

Durante la época colonial Toquegua también fue un apellido familiar durante la época colonial en Honduras y el nombre de un pueblo en el drenaje del Río Motagua en el siglo XVI. Según Lawrence Feldman y Nicolas Helmuth, el toquegua es una lengua de la subfamilia mayense cholana.

Estos grupos comerciaron con cacao y plumas con los mayas de Guatemala, Belice y Yucatán.
