Lule–Vilela languages
Language family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The two Lule–Vilela languages constitute a small, extinct, distantly related language family of northern Argentina. Kaufman found the relationship likely and with general agreement among the major classifiers of South American languages. Viegas Barros published additional evidence from 1996–2006. However, Zamponi (2008) considers Lule and Vilela each as language isolates, with similarities being due to contact.[1]
