Sechura–Catacao languages

Sechura–Catacao is a proposed connection between the language isolates Sechura (Sek) and Tallán of Peru. The languages are extremely poorly known, but Kaufman (1990) finds the connection convincing, Campbell (2012) persuasive.

External relationships
Kaufman (1994: 64) groups Leco and Sechura–Catacao together as part of a proposed Macro-Lecoan family. Tovar (1961), partly based on Schmidt (1926), classifies Sechura–Catacao together with the Chimuan languages in his Yunga–Puruhá family. ==Vocabulary==
