Domingo, Javier. 2020. “On a Last Speaker. The Comeback of Chaná.” La Ricerca Folklorica, no. 75: 259–76.

In 2005, the news of the existence of a “semi-speaking” of Chan. [qsi], a language that was considered “extinct” more than 150 years ago, transformed the sociolinguistic reality of the Litoral region in Argentina and Uruguay. The fact also sparked debates on social, historical and political issues. This article aims to trace the identification of a person as a “last speaker”, to show how an entity called “Chan. language” has been shaped over time, and to present the emergence of a community that feel an emotional connection to this language.
