Karipuna is an extinct Pano-Tacanan language of South America,
once spoken in Brazil. It had SOV word order. It is often called Caripuna do Amapá to distinguish it from the unrelated
language Caripuna de Rondônia, which is a Tupi language. Today the Karipuna people still exist, but they speak a form
of French Creole known as Karipúna Creole French instead of their original language.
