The Patxôhã language, also known as Pataxó Hã-Ha-Hãe, Patashó or Pataxi, means tongue of the Pataxó warrior. It is spoken by the Pataxó people in the states of Bahía and Minas Gerais, Brazil. The very harsh history of this people is an illustration of Brazilian colonization, as it is still practiced today.
Expropriations, forced displacements, disease transmission and assassinations were part of their lives. However, Pataxó have today indigenous schools where they can learn their language, like in Coroa Vermelha.
The Patxôhã language is not yet extinct, it has been rediscovered and can be taught again. The Pataxó fight is an example of what can be done for other indigenous peoples.
