The Buglere (Buglé, Bocotá, Bocotá de Chiriquí, Sabanero Guaymí) language is spoken in the cantons of Osa, Corredores, Golfito and Coto Brus, in the province of Puntarenas. Originally its speakers come from the south-eastern region of Chiriquí, in the province of Veraguas, Panama, from where they emigrated to Costa Rica along with groups of Nove people (Margery and Rodriguez 1992). The number of speakers and of people who identify as members of this group in Costa Rica is unknown, as they live in the same territories as the Nove people, and population censuses have not collected data about them. It is considered that many cultural features are shared between the Buglé and Nove peoples. Margery (1990) even points out that the Buglé and Nove peoples constitute a «speech area», since they share rules of speech, values, ways of interacting and cultural content, in addition to the fact that the Buglé people have come to appropriate elements of Nove ethnohistory and have introduced elements of Nove oral tradition in their own narrative. However, the languages of these two peoples are different, although they are closely related. The Buglere language belongs to the Isthmic group, Eastern Isthmic branch, of the Chibcha family (Constenla 2008). According to the characterization by Quesada (2008) and following the parameters of UNESCO, this language could be considered definitely endangered (Sánchez 2013).
