Canamari Indian Language (Canamari de Purus, Kanamare)

Canamari de Purus was an Arawakan language of South American language, once spoken in Brazil. This language is believed to be extinct today. A second indigenous group from the same region is also known as Canamari, but their language (Canamari de Juruá or Tukuna) is a Katukinan language that has nothing in common with the Arawakan language once spoken in the Purus vicinity. Canamari de Purus was probably most closely related to Piro.
