Baré, also called Barawana, is an extinct Arawakan language of Venezuela and Brazil. Its last fluent speaker, Candelário da Silva, died in 1993, but as of 2001 six of the Baré people still remembered something of the language; the rest have switched to Nheengatu, a Tupian language, Spanish or Portuguese. It is closely related to a number of other extinct languages, such as Guinau and Mandahuaca.
