Corachol (alternatively Coracholan, Cora-Huichol or Coran) is a grouping of languages within the Uto-Aztecan language family. The living members of Coracholan are the Huichol and Cora languages, spoken by communities in Jalisco and Nayarit, states in central Mexico. Guachichil, Zacateco, and Lagunero/Irritila may have belonged as well. However, Cazcan is sometimes believed to have been a Nahuan language instead, and Guachichil has also been linked to the areal Coahuiltecan languages.[1]

Corachol languages are Mesoamerican languages, and display many of the traits defined by the Mesoamerican linguistic area, or sprachbund.
