Jaikó (Jeicó, Jeikó, Yeico, Geico, Eyco) is an extinct language of southeastern Piauí, Brazil.
Classification
Based on a 67-word list from the 19th century in
Jê language
.
However, Ramirez et al. (2015: 260–261) doubts the accuracy of von Martius' list, and notes that the word list may actually consist of a wide mixture of languages spoken in
Cariban) and Masakará (Kamakã).[2] Nevertheless, Nikulin (2020) still finds convincing evidence that Jaikó was a Macro-Jê language, but does not consider it to be within the Jê branch.[3]
Distribution
Jaikó was spoken around the aldeia (village) of Cajueiro, located in what is now southeastern
Gurgueia River.[3]
