Nimuendajú was right: The inclusion of the jabutí language family in the Macro-Jê stock

Abstract: So far, the available data on the Arikapú and Djeoromitxí languages of the Brazilian Amazon, which together form the Jabutí language family, have been too sparse to enable one to evaluate existing proposals for a genealogical classification. Recent descriptive fieldwork, however, has yielded information that strongly corroborates an early hypothesis of Nimuendajú (2000Nimuendajú ( [1935) that the languages are related to those of the Jê family. In this article, we compare the reconstructed ancestors of both f… Show more

“…All of the other members of the Tuparían branch of Tupían -Makurap, Wayoro, Sakurabiá, Akuntsú -are endangered; none enjoy stable intergenerational transmission (Galucio 2001;Braga 2005; Galucio and Nogueira 2011; Moore 2011; Nogueira 2011; Aragon 2014). Several non-Tuparían languages from the Rio Branco region are highly endangered, as well; the Macro-Jê language Arikapú, for instance, has only one fluent speaker left (Arikapú et al 2010;Ribeiro and van der Voort 2010). Detailed documentation of how evidentiality works in these and other native languages of Rondônia is urgently needed.…”

“…Para avançarmos no entendimento dessa complexidade, minha aposta é que teríamos que insistir na investigação da afinidade, ou melhor dizendo, nos momentos de "invenção deliberada do dado" (Viveiros de Castro 2002b) (Ribeiro & Van Der Voort 2010). Minha interlocução para o mestrado concentrou-se num povo vizinho e afim, os Wajuru, de língua tupi-tupari, residentes na aldeia Ricardo Franco e, para o doutorado, nos Djeoromitxi, residentes na aldeia Baía das Onças, ambas na T.I.…”
