C. Hermann Berendt's transcription of a vocabulary of 32 words or phrases, in English and the dialect of Cuna spoken by the Cholo (or: Choco) Indians of Panama, collected by Edward Cullen and published in R.G. Latham's article: Note upon the language of Central America (Journal of the Royal Geographical Society, London, vol. 20, 1851, p. 189-190). The area designated in the subtitle is in either the eastern part of Darien province, Panama, or the northern part of Choco department, Colombia, in an area inhabited by the Embera Indians; the Choco language in question is possibly Catio. Berendt also includes a note (tipped in, p. 5) concerning Latham's article On the languages of Northern, Western, and Central America (Transactions of the Philological Society, London, 1856, p. 57-115, especially p. 109, 111-113); and lists the words for the numbers 1 to 10 in the Cunacuna vocabulary given by Adriano Balbi and the Darien from Lionel Wafer. (For Berendt's fuller transcriptions from Balbi and Wafer, see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 167 and Item 169, respectively.) Berendt refers to Latham's remarks on the similarity of Cholo to these vocabularies of Cunacuna and Darien, as well as to specimens of the Mithridates (Adelung/Vater?). Another note by Berendt, in German (affixed to the sheet tipped in, p. 5), concerns Moritz Wagner's statement that Cholos was a local designation for Mestizos, or people of mixed Indian and European heritage (Petermann's geographische Mitteilungen, 1863, p. 297); and also a reference by Philipp J.J. Valentini to usage in Costa Rica.
