Comecrudo language
Comecrudo, also Yué, is an extinct Comecrudan language of Mexico. The name Comecrudo is Spanish for "eat-raw". It was best recorded in a list of 148 words in 1829 by French botanist Jean Louis Berlandier . It was spoken on the lower Rio Grande near Reynosa, Tamaulipas, in Mexico. Comecrudo has often been considered a Coahuiltecan language although most linguists now consider the relationship between them unprovable due to the lack of information.
Comecrudo tribal names were recorded in 1748 :
In 1861, German Adolph Uhde published a travelogue with some vocabulary . In 1886, Albert Gatschet recorded vocabulary, sentences, and a short text from the descendants of the last Comecrudo speakers near Camargo, Tamaulipas, at Las Prietas. The best of these consultants were Emiterio, Joaquin, and Andrade.
An automated computational analysis by Müller et al. found lexical similarities with Uto-Aztecan, likely due to borrowings.
