Distribution of Chapacuran languages | |
The Chapacuran languages are a nearly extinct Native American language family of South America. Almost all Chapacuran languages are extinct, and the four that are extant are moribund, with the exception of Wariʼ. They are spoken in Rondônia in the southern Amazon Basin of Brazil and in northern Bolivia.
According to Kaufman (1990, 1994), the Chapacuran family could be related to the extinct Wamo language. His suggestions have not been accepted as valid by others.
