History
In 1695, the mission of San José was founded by Jesuit missionaries Juan Bautista Zea and Francisco Hervás. The mission was relocated and rebuilt multiple times due to epidemics (in 1701 and again in 1705) and fires (in 1719). In 1750, the mission was rebuilt yet again.[3][4]
Languages
The Tao (Yúnkarirsh) dialect of Chiquitano was spoken in San Rafael.[5]
Today, Camba Spanish, which has many words from Chiquitano, is spoken in San Rafael.[6]
