In popular culture
In Steven Spielberg's film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), Indiana Jones identifies the Koihoma language on a mysterious letter Harold Oxley wrote. However, he explains to Mutt Williams that nobody speaks that language anymore. He defines it as a "Latin American language" that became extinct centuries before Spanish and Portuguese were introduced to the Americas.
