The Misumalpan languages (also Misumalpa or Misuluan) are a small family of languages spoken by different Indigenous groups in the region commonly known as Mosquitia, referred to in Miskitu as Yapti Tasba Masrka (“the People’s Land”). The name “Misumalpan” was coined by American anthropologist John Alden Mason in the early 20th century as a comparative linguistic term.
