Im Pablo, I am a third year at Rutgers and I am a biochemistry major

For my adding to an article assignment I am editing the Chimila language article:

The language currently has 900 speakers worldwide.

Lead
The Chimila language is a Chibchan language spoken in northern Colombia. The Chimila language falls under the Magdalenic branch of the Core Chibchan sub-branch, which itself divides into the Isthmic, and Votic sub-branches of the Chibchan language, which are shared by Chocoan Tribes. category. Chimila language is also referred to sometimes as Barbacoan. The language has also shown evidence of having a numeral classification system. The approximate number of remaining speakers is 1,600. Speakers of the language have been found to share genes with the Amerindian Mayos Mexican population. The language exhibits nasality and uses lexical stems. Its endangerment can be attributed to the standardization of Spanish being the main language, and Chimila only being spoken by the already small Chimilan population.
