Resumen
La lengua tol o jicaque es una lengua hablada en Honduras, en zonas rurales que se ubican aproximadamente a unos 150 km al norte de Tegucigalpa. Históricamente, en tiempos precolombinos, según Holt (1999: 61), una posible distribución geográfica abarcaría las costa caribeña entre el río Ulúa al oeste, Trujillo hacia el este y adentrándose hasta el río Sulaco.
El término "tol" corresponde al endónimo usado para referirse a la lengua y su forma plural "tolpan" se usa para denominar a la etnia, mientras que el término "jicaque", tanto para la lengua como para la etnia, es un exónimo que se remonta a tiempos coloniales.
The Tol or Jicaque language is spoken in Honduras, in rural areas located approximately 150 km north of Tegucigalpa. Historically, in pre-Columbian times, according to Holt (1999: 61), a possible geographical distribution would have encompassed the Caribbean coast between the Ulúa River to the west, Trujillo to the east, and extending inland to the Sulaco River. The term “Tol” corresponds to the endonym used to refer to the language, and its plural form ‘Tolpan’ is used to refer to the ethnic group, while the term “Jicaque,” used for both the language and the ethnic group, is an exonym dating back to colonial times.
