Tubar or Tubare, is an extinct language of southern Chihuahua, Mexico that belonged to the Uto-Aztecan language family.

Morphology

Tubar is an agglutinative language, where words use suffix complexes for a variety of purposes with several morphemes strung together.

Sample text

The following two samples are the Lord's Prayer in Tubar.

Ite cañar tegmue carichui catemat;
Imit tegmuarac milituraba teochigualac;
Imit huegmica cariniti bacachin-assisaguin
Imit avamunarir echu nañigualac imo cuigan

The other versoin of the Lord's Prayer is slightly different from the first; it may be transcribed differently or be a different dialect.
