The moribund Hibito–Cholón or Cholónan languages form a proposed language family that links two languages of Peru, Hibito and Cholón. This family was believed to be extinct but in 2021 a semispeaker was rediscovered; she is Martha Pérez Valderrama, and she is currently the only known speaker of this language family (specifically from the Cholón). They may also be related to the extinct Culle language, and perhaps to the language of the Chachapoya, but the data for all of these languages is poor.
