Guerén dialect
Extinct Botocudoan language of Brazil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guerén (Guêren) is an extinct Botocudoan dialect of Brazil, related to Krenak. Today, several thousand Guerén people live in Olivença (now a district of Ilhéus), but they no longer speak the language.[2][3] A single Borum individual was encoutered in the winter of 1908 who knew the language.[1]
