Maipurean Languages
Arawakan (''Arahuacan, Maipuran Arawakan, "mainstream" Arawakan, Arawakan proper''), also known as Maipurean (also ''Maipuran, Maipureano, Maipúre''), is a language family that developed among ancient Indigenous peoples in South America. Branches migrated to Central America and the Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean and the Atlantic, including what is now the Bahamas. Almost all present-day South American countries are known to have been home to speakers of Arawakan languages, the exceptions being Ecuador, Uruguay, and Chile. Maipurean may be related to other language families in a hypothetical Macro-Arawakan stock. Name The name ''Maipure'' was given to the family by Filippo S. Gilii in 1782, after the Maipure language of Venezuela, which he used as a basis of his comparisons. It was renamed after the culturally more important Arawak language a century later. The term ''Arawak'' took over, until its use was extended by North American scholars to the broader ...

Yine Language
Yine is the principle variety of Piro, which is a Maipurean language spoken in Peru. It belongs to the Piro group which also includes the nearly extinct Iñapari and Apurinã. The Manchineri who live in Brazil (Acre) and reportedly also in Bolivia speak what may be a dialect of Yine (Aikhenvald, Kaufman). A vocabulary labeled '' Canamaré'' is "so close to Piro ineas to count as Piro", but has been a cause of confusion with the unrelated Kanamarí language. Names This language is also called Contaquiro, Pira, Piro, Pirro, Simiranch, or Simirinche. ''Cushichineri'' has been reported as a language, but is actually a family name used with Whites (Matteson 1965). The name ''Mashco'' has sometimes been incorrectly applied to the Yine. (See Mashco Piro.) Varieties Varieties of Piro (Yine): *Chontaquiro (Simirinche, Upatarinavo): Ucayali River * Manchineri (Manatinavo): Purus River * Kushichineri (Kuxiti-neri, Kujigeneri, Cusitinavo): upper Purus River in Peru (in 1886, spoken on ...

Kanamarí Language
Kanamarí, or Katukina-Kanamari, is a Katukinan language spoken by about 650 individuals in Amazonas, Brazil. It is considered endangered. The two principal varieties, Kanamari (Canamarí) and Katukina (Catuquina), are mutually intelligible, and have both been confused with neighboring languages with the same or similar names.Harald Hammarström (2013) ''Review of the Ethnologue, 16th Ed.'' Synonyms and dialect names include ''Tshom-djapa, Tsohon-djapa, Wiri-dyapá, Pidá-dyapá, Kutiá-dyapá (Kadiu-diapa, Cutiadapa), Tucun-diapa, Bendiapa, Parawa.'' Etymology The term ''Katukina'' is derived from the Proto- Purus term *ka-tukanɨ, meaning 'speaker of an indigenous language'. As a result, it is used to refer to a few different unrelated languages belonging to separate language families, including Panoan and Arawakan: * Katukina (Arawakan) * Katukína (Panoan) * Catuquinarú (unclassified) Phonology Consonants An alveolar lateral consonant /l/ may be realized as a r ...
