Katukinan (Catuquinan) is a language family consisting of two languages in
Campbell (2012) note that Adelaar "presents reasonably persuasive evidence that
Language contact
Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the
Languages and dialects
Many ethnic Katukina had shifted to other languages by the time of European contact. Examples are
The common suffix dyapa, djapa means 'tribe' or 'clan', for which the varieties are named. Fabre (2005) lists Kanamarí, Txuhuã-djapá, Katukína do Jutaí (Katukina proper), and Katawixi as four attested languages.
Loukotka (1968)
A large number of Katukinan dialects have gone extinct. Loukotka (1968) illustrates data from Catuquina (Wiri-dyapá, of the Jutaí River), Canamari, Parawa (Hon-dyapa), Bendiapa, and Catauxi (Catosé, Hewadie, Katawishi, Quatausi).[3] Canamari, Parawa, and Bendiapa (Beñ-Dyapá) may constitute a single language, as may Tucundiapa (Mangeroma, Tucano Dyapa). He also notes a Tawari (Tauaré, Kadekili-dyapa, Kayarára), and a Buruá (Burue, Buruhe), of which nothing has been recorded. All of them are classified as "Southern Catuquina" except for Catauxi, which is the only "Northern Catuquina" language. The locations of each variety given by Loukotka (1968) are:
- Catuquina / Wiri-dyapá - spoken on the Jutaí River
- Canamari - Juruá River
- Parawa / Hon-dyapá - Grégorio River near Santo Amaro
- Tucundiapa / Mangeroma - Itecoaí River (Itaquai River)
- Bendiapa - São José River
- Tawari / Kadekili-dyapá / Kayarára - spoken north of the Bendiapa tribe
- Buruá - spoken on the Biá River and Jutaí River
- Catauxi - Madeira River and Purus River
Mason (1950)
Mason (1950) gives Pidá-Dyapá and Kutiá-Dyapá as dialects of Catukina, and Cadekili-Dyapá and Wadyo-Paraniñ-Dyapá (Kairara) as dialects of Tawari, corresponding to Loukotka's names Kadekili-dyapa and Kayarára. He adds Catukino and a "miscellaneous" list of Amena-Dyapá, Cana-Dyapá, Hon-Dyapá (which Loukotka identifies with Parawa), Marö-Dyapá, Ururu-Dyapá, and Wiri-Dyapá (which Loukotka identifies with Catuquina). Mason's (1950) internal classification of Catukina is summarized as follows.[4]
