Eudeve (also known as Heve, Hegue and Dohema) is a Southern Uto-Aztecan language formerly spoken in Mexico, in the north of Sonora. The language, which is part of the Taracahitic branch, is known from colonial-era manuscripts. It is closely related to the Opata language, to the point that they are sometimes considered to be varieties of the same language. It has been extinct since the 1930s.
