The Lencan languages are a small language family native to Central America, whose speakers lived throughout El Salvador and Honduras during the Pre-Columbian era. By the beginning of the 20th century, only two languages of the family survived, Salvadoran Lenca or Potón and Honduran Lenca, which were described and studied academically. Of the two, only Salvadoran Lenca still has speakers, despite the fact that there are between 37,000 and 100,000 people belonging to the Lenca ethnic group.
