Harakmbut-Katukinan is a language family proposal linking the South American indigenous language families Harakmbut and Katukinan, with reasonably good evidence supporting the connection. The Glottolog database does not accept the grouping, stating that the pronouns, numerals and bound morphology it relies on are not genuinely cognate, while researcher Marcelo Jolkesky has proposed adding the Arawan languages to the family as well.
