The Talamanca and Boruca are Chibcha dialects (see preceding page). The
Paniquita (see _anté_, pp. 190-192) has no positive affinities with
its neighbors. The grammatical character of its Paez dialect has been
analyzed by Fr. Müller (_Grundriss der Sprachwissenschaft_, Bd. II., Ab.
I., p. 356). He points out some similarity in the numerals to the Kechua
and Goajiro. But this is not significant.
The various vocabularies of the Timote stock differ considerably, and
none of them is at all complete.
