Chibcha, also known as Muisca or Mosca, is "officially" an extinct Chibchan language of Colombia, formerly spoken by the Muisca people, a complex indigenous civilization of Central America and the present-day Colombian region. Scholars believe the Chibcha language arose in Central America and then migrated with people to nearby areas. In 1770, King Charles III of Spain officially banned use of the language in the region as part of a de-indigenization project. The ban remained in law until Colombia passed its constitution of 1991.
