The moribund or extinct Híbito–Cholón or Cholónan languages form a proposed and widely accepted language family that links two languages of Peru, Hibito and Cholón. This family was believed have gone extinct in the 1990s, but in 2021 a semispeaker was identified; she is Martha Pérez Valderrama, and she is currently the only known speaker of this language family (specifically from the Cholón). They may also be related to the extinct Culle and Chirino languages, and perhaps to the language of the Chachapoya, but the data for all of these languages is poor. This hypothetical group of languages has been termed the Cholonoid languages.
