The Coca language is a poorly attested Uto-Aztecan language, ostensibly of the Taracahitic subgroup,[1] formerly spoken in the Mexican state of Jalisco.[2][1]

Vocabulary

In the 1930s and 1940s, the historian José Ignacio Dávila Garibi compiled a number of lexical items in the Coca language from historical documents.[3][4] Other Uto-Aztecan languages are included here for comparison.[1]
