Description:		Francisco Hernandez explains his analysis of the sociolinguistic situation of the Pesh language. He compares the situation when he was young and all the families spoke Pesh and the current situation in which the language is not transmitted. For him, the loss of the language and the culture is a great problem for the survival of the Pesh. People decide to speak Spanish because they think that it is better but it is better to speak both language.
		The general aim of the MDP0276 project is to document and describe three varieties of Pesh in eight villages, the most northern Chibchan language, and the only one spoken in Honduras. Pesh is classified as an isolate in the Chibchan family; it is the sole language that does not belong to Core Chibchan. Pesh is endangered: it has roughly 500 speakers, of whom 80% are more than 50 years old. Pesh is little described. The project has filled a gap, since no documentation or complete description has been carried out in the past. Various genres have been documented, in particular such endangered speech practices as prayers and ceremonial speech, and narratives related to traditional cooking and medicine. More than 30 hours have been recorded.
