"Notes on the Mangue: An Extinct Dialect Formerly Spoken in Nicaragua" by Daniel G. Brinton is a study about the Mangue language, a speech once used by native people in Nicaragua that no longer exists. Brinton put together pieces of information about the language, using notes from other researchers in his scientific book. He looks at the words, sounds, and grammar of Mangue, and how the language connects to the identity and culture of the Mangué people. Although the language has died out, Brinton's work attempts to save what's left of it.
