# Francisco Pareja: Missionary and Linguist in Spanish Colonial Florida

Timucuan is a dead language. Spoken by an indigenous tribe that lived in northeast-north central Florida during the time of Spanish colonization, it was learned and recorded by Friar Francisco Pareja, a missionary and self-taught linguist. Thanks to his efforts, Timucua is now considered the best attested language from a native tribe in Spanish Colonial Florida.
