Chapacuran languages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chapacuran languages are a nearly extinct Native American language family of South America. There are three living Chapacuran languages, which are spoken in the southeastern Amazon Basin of Brazil and Bolivia. The languages in the family are classified into the Madeira and Guapore groups, based on genetic relationships. All of the languages in the Guapore group are probably extinct, and of the three languages in the Madeira group, two, Oro Win and Torá, have fewer than 100 speakers.
