Description:		The wife of Ruben Mendoza, stripping corn from the cob in El carbon
		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.
		He was born in Culmi and arrives in Carbon when he was 19, and lives in this village then. He also lived when he was young in la Mosquitia. He speaks well Pesh but his wife and his children don’t speak Pesh. He speaks Spanish in the village.
