From Wikipedia

Mochica (Yunga, Mochica: Muchic, Modern Mochica: Ed muchik) is an extinct and revived language isolate formerly spoken by the Moche and Sican cultures in the departments of Lambayeque and La Libertad, along the Peruvian North Coast, until the 1920s. Documented beginning in the 16th century in various colonial and postcolonial sources, Mochica is characterized by its primarily synthetic morphology, a distinctive consonant system, particularly with its laterals, clitic- rather than affix-based morphosyntax, case stacking, and numeral classifiers derived from nouns. In recent times, there have been initiatives to revive the language, such as teaching it in schools and creating modern learning resources for Mochica.
