Maratino language
Extinct North American aboriginal language
Maratino is a poorly attested extinct language that was spoken in north-east Mexico , near Martín, Tamaulipas . Swanton, who called it 'Tamaulipeco', classified it as Uto-Aztecan based on a few obvious cognates, such as Maratino chiguat 'woman' ~ Nahuatl cihuātl 'woman' and peyot 'peyote ' ~ Nahuatl peyotl , but other scholars have not considered this to be enough to classify the language.
