Abstract
This case report article seeks an abstract and concrete reflection on the situation of indigenous languages in the Colombian Caribbean. The rural and urban context have presented different conditions for the use of indigenous languages, in urban formal and informal work has led to the use of other languages and in rural the presence of armed groups has made it impossible, in some cases, to use of these languages as forms of control. From these two situations, the aim is to show that the policy of bilingualism as a way to overcome the economic, social and cultural gaps in the Colombian Caribbean has not been effective and the use of Spanish in some indigenous peoples has been validated. In this way, the investigative advance presented here aims to analyze the situation of the use of indigenous languages in the rural and urban context of the Ette Ennaka, Kankuamo, Arhuaco, Kogui, Wayú peoples.
