  LANGUAGES 
  

  

  The 
  languages 
  of 
  these 
  three 
  groups, 
  all 
  now 
  extinct, 
  were 
  Quilla- 
  

   cinga, 
  Pasto, 
  and 
  Malla, 
  the 
  last 
  spoken 
  by 
  the 
  Sindagua 
  (map 
  11). 
  

   That 
  the 
  first 
  two 
  had 
  distinct 
  languages 
  is 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  following 
  

   quotations 
  from 
  the 
  Provincial 
  Synod 
  of 
  Quito 
  (Sinodo 
  Provincial 
  de 
  

   Quito) 
  of 
  1593 
  which, 
  assigning 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  translating 
  the 
  catechism 
  

   and 
  the 
  rules 
  for 
  confession 
  into 
  the 
  native 
  languages, 
  entrusted 
  the 
  

   task 
  "to 
  Fr. 
  Francisco 
  de 
  Jerez 
  and 
  to 
  Fr. 
  Alonso 
  de 
  Jerez 
  of 
  the 
  Order 
  

   of 
  Mercy 
  for 
  the 
  language 
  of 
  the 
  Pastos 
  and 
  to 
  Andres 
  Moreno 
  de 
  

   Ziifiiga 
  and 
  Diego 
  de 
  Bermudez, 
  priests, 
  for 
  the 
  Quillacinga 
  language."
