Attestation

Much of the information on Panzaleo comes from toponyms of central and northern Ecuador. Typical are:

-(h)aló: Pilaló, Mulahaló

-leo: Tisaleo, Pelileo

-lagua / -ragua: Cutuglagua, Tungurahua

Classification

Loukotka (1968) suggested that Panzaleo might be related to Paez.[1] (See Paezan languages.) One of his sources for this proposal was Jijón y Caamaño (1940), who admit that the evidence is weak and may have been due to language contact.
