Arutani-Sape languages

South American Language Families

Arutani-Sape, also known as Awake-Kaliana or Kalianan, is a proposed language family that includes two of the most poorly documented languages in South America, both of which are now moribund or extinct. They are at best only distantly related. Kaufman (1990) found a connection convincing, but Migliazza and Campbell (1988) maintained that there is no evidence for linking them.
