Harákmbut–Katukinan languages
Language family of South America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harákmbut–Katukinan is a language family linking the South American indigenous language families Harákmbut and Katukinan. There is reasonably good evidence that the two are related.[1] Glottolog does not accept it, stating that the pronouns, numerals, or bound morphology are not cognate.[2] Jolkesky (2011) also adds Arawan to the family.[3]
