Cochimí was once the language of the greater part Baja California, as attested by Jesuit documents of the 18th century. It seems to have become extinct around the beginning of the 20th century[1] (Modern "Cochimi"-speakers are actually speakers of Kumiai.) There were two main dialects, northern and southern; the dividing line was approximately at the Misión San Ignacio Kadakaamán, in the north of present-day Baja California Sur.

The Jesuit texts establish that the language was related to the Yuman languages of the Colorado River region. It is thought to be the most divergent language of the family, which is generally called Yuman–Cochimí to reflect this. Based on glottochronology studies, the separation between Cochimi and the Yuman languages is believed to have occurred about 1000 BC.[2]

Cochimí text

Following is the Lord's Prayer in the dialect of San Ignacio Kadakaamán, recorded by Francisco Javier Clavijero from the work of the missionaries Barco and Ventura, which has been lost.[3]

Phonology

The phonology of the Cochimí language is likely explained as follows:[4]

						plain	lab.
Stop	voiceless	p	t			k	kʷ	ʔ
	voiced	b	d			ɡ
Affricate				tʃ
Fricative			s	ʃ*		x	xʷ
Nasal		m	n		ɲ	ŋ

*- /ʃ/ could have been disputed.

Voiced consonants likely could have been either separate phonemes or phonetic alternates of voiceless sounds.

El cochimí propiamente dicho, conocido también como idioma laymón o cochimí laymón fue la lengua de los pueblos cochimíes que ocuparon la mayor parte de la península de California hasta su extinción, ocurrida probablemente a principios del siglo XX. Esta lengua no debe ser confundida con el cochimí de la actualidad, nombre que se le da a la lengua mti'pai que se habla en el norte de Baja California (México).

[ru] Кочими (язык)

Кочими (Cadegomeño, Cadegomo, Cochetimi, Cochima, Cochimi, Cochimtee, Didiu, Joaquín, Laimon, Laymon-Cochimi, Laymonem, San, San Francesco Saverio Mission, San Francisco Xavier de, San Javier, San Xavier, Viggé-Biaundo Mission) — мёртвый язык, который был распространён на большей части штата Нижняя Калифорния, о чём свидетельствуют документы иезуитов 18 века. Скорее всего, язык вымер в начале XX века. Были два основных диалекта — северный и южный; разделительная линия между ними проходила примерно по месту, где сейчас находится здание миссии иезуитов Мисион-Сан-Игнасион-Кадакааман, располагающееся на севере штата Южная Нижняя Калифорния в Мексике.
