Xinca people

The Xinca, also known as the Xinka, are a non-Mayan indigenous people of Mesoamerica, with communities in the southern portion of Guatemala, near its border with El Salvador, and in the mountainous region to the north. Their language (the Xinca language) is generally classed as a language isolate with no demonstrated affiliations with other language families, although it has a large number of loan words from Mayan languages.
