Anambe Indian Language (Anambé, Hanambe)

Anambe is a Tupi language of South America, once spoken in Brazil. It is closely related to the still spoken Tembe and Awa languages. Anambe is an agglutinative language which uses SOV word order. Though there are still Anambe people living in Brazil today, they have mostly acculturated and switched to using Portuguese. There are not believed to be any fluent speakers remaining, but a few Anambe elders still remember some of the old language. The language is also spelled Anambé, Anambè or Hanambe.
