Description:Rosendo Mejia describes the way the traditional place called ‘White city’ was sacked. It is said that this place is the traditional place where the Pesh came from. In his discourse, history and myth are mixed. This place is unknown and inaccessible by boat (only by plane). The history (myth) relates that all the houses that were in this place were covered by soil to protect and hide them. The inhabitants came to Culmi.
The general aim of the MDP0276 project is to document and describe three varieties of Pesh in eight villages, the most northern Chibchan language, and the only one spoken in Honduras. Pesh is classified as an isolate in the Chibchan family; it is the sole language that does not belong to Core Chibchan. Pesh is endangered: it has roughly 500 speakers, of whom 80% are more than 50 years old. Pesh is little described. The project has filled a gap, since no documentation or complete description has been carried out in the past. Various genres have been documented, in particular such endangered speech practices as prayers and ceremonial speech, and narratives related to traditional cooking and medicine. More than 30 hours have been recorded.
