Nukini (Nukuini, Nuquini) is an obsolescent Panoan language of Brazil. In some historical texts the Nukini are also referred to as Inucuini, Nucuiny, Nukuini, Nucuini, Inocú-inins and Remo.
As a result of contact with outsiders, there are currently few who speak Nukini as a mother tongue. The Nukini stopped passing on the language to their descendants, and the current generation speaks Portuguese. The language has been taught in schools since 2000.
