'Chibcha', also known as 'Muisca' or 'Mosca', is officially an extinct Chibchan language of Colombia, formerly spoken by the Muisca people. Actually the name of the Chibcha language is "''muysca kubun''". The word "''Chibcha''" comes from "''Chib''" (staff) and "''Cha''" (man), meaning the "''Chief of the Community''". ''Chibchacum'', for example, was the god of the agriculture and he was punished by Bochica to hold the earth on his shoulders.
