A member of an indigenous people living in Costa Rica and Panama, or their language.
From the Bribri people's own name for themselves, from their language. The term entered English anthropological literature in the late 19th century through contact with Central American peoples.
The Bribri people have maintained their language and culture for centuries despite colonization—today there are about 3,000 native speakers, and the language contains unique words for jungle plants and animals that don't exist in European languages.
