Yumana language

Extinct Arawakan language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yumana (Jumana, Xomana, Ximana[1]) is an extinct, poorly attested, and unclassified Arawakan language. Kaufman (1994)[2] placed it in his Río Negro branch, but this is not followed in Aikhenvald (1999).[3] It is attested only in a wordlist from Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius and Johann Baptist von Spix in 1867.[4]
