Panzaleo (Pansaleo, Quito, Latacunga) is a poorly attested and unclassified indigenous American language that was spoken in the region of Quito until the 17th century.
Attestation
Much of the information on Panzaleo comes from toponyms of central and northern Ecuador. Typical are:
- -(h)aló: Pilaló, Mulahaló
- -leo: Tisaleo, Pelileo
- -lagua / -ragua: Cutuglagua, Tungurahua
Classification
Loukotka (1968) suggested that Panzaleo might be related to Paez. (See Paezan languages.) One of his sources for this proposal was Jijón y Caamaño (1940), who admit that the evidence is weak and may have been due to language contact.
