Mamulique is an extinct Pakawan language of Nuevo León, Mexico.

Called Carrizo (Carrizo de Mamulique) by Jean-Louis Berlandier, it was recorded in a twenty-two-word vocabulary (in two versions) from near Mamulique, Nuevo León in 1828 (Berlandier et al. 18281829, 1850: 6871). These speakers were a group of about forty-five families who were all Spanish-speaking Christians.

Example phrase

Goddard (1979: 384), citing Berlandier, provides the following phrase for Mamulique, with aha meaning 'water'.[1]

aha mojo cuejemad (original transcription)
aha moxo kwexemat (IPA approximation)
