Andaqui (or Andaki) is an extinct language from the southern highlands of Colombia. It has been linked to the Paezan or Barbacoan languages, but no connections have been demonstrated. It was spoken by the Andaqui people of Colombia.
Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with Paez, Chibcha (also proposed by Rivet 1924[2]), and Tinigua-Pamigua due to contact.[3]
Other unattested varieties possibly related to Andaqui that are listed by Loukotka (1968):[4]
- Timaná - once spoken on the Magdalena River and Guarapas River around the city of Timaná.
- Yalcon / Cambi - once spoken between the Magdalena River and La Plata River.
