The Yabutian or Jabutian languages are two similar moribund languages of southern Rondônia, Brazil, namely Arikapú (Maxubí) and Djeoromitxi (Yabutí/Jabotí). They are members of the Macro-Jê language family. Maxubí was sometimes seen as a distinct language, but is now evaluated as representing Arikapú.
