Lenca-Salvador

Salvadoran Lenca, Chilanga or Potón is a Lencan language spoken in El Salvador, of which two dialects have been described: that of Chilanga (extinct), and that of Guatajiagua. Other dialects may have existed in the past in the other towns where the Lencas lived in present-day El Salvador.

Salvadoran Lenca belongs to the small Lencan language family, which also includes Honduran Lenca. There have been attempts to link the Lencan languages to other language families, but none have been successful. According to Adolfo Costenla Umaña, Salvadoran Lenca and Honduran Lenca separated 2,295 years ago; approximately the same time at which the archaeological site of Quelepa was founded.
