Matanau language
Extinct Tupian language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matanau is an extinct Tupian language of the Mondé group, formerly spoken at the mouth of the Aripuanã River.[1] It is solely documented by an 1829 wordlist by Johann Natterer. It is very similar to Kabanaé, which was spoken in the same region.[2]
