Ticuna–Yuri languages
Proposed language family of western Amazon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ticuna–Yuri is a small family, perhaps even a dialect continuum, consisting of at least two, and perhaps three, known languages of South America: the major western Amazonian language Ticuna, the poorly attested and extinct Yurí, and the scarcely known language of the largely uncontacted Carabayo, which it may be a descendant of. Kaufman (2007: 68) also adds Munichi to the family.[2]

Kaufman (1990, 1994) argues that the connection between the two is convincing even with the limited information available. Carvalho (2009) presented "compelling" evidence for the family.[3]
