Trans–São Francisco languages
Proposed language grouping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trans–São Francisco languages[1] (Portuguese: Transanfranciscano) are a proposed grouping of languages within Macro-Jê. They consist of the Krenák, Maxakalían, and possibly also the Kamakã families. The Trans–São Francisco group was originally proposed and demonstrated by Nikulin and Silva (2020) under the name of Maxakalí-Krenák.[2]
