A vast number of Gorgotoquis seem to have spoken a well disseminated but now virtually unknown language during the 16th century, and then disappeared without a trace. The paper argues, firstly, that these Gorogotoquis are the posterior "Penoquis” mentioned by Jesuit sources in the 18th century. Secondly, by comparing similarities and differences between their language and the languages of the neighbouring Indians known as "Chiquitos”, and by deepening some of Slovenian scholar Branislava Susnik’s intuitions, the paper challenges the traditional ethnic classification of these groups based on linguistic criteria.Downloads
