Jabutian languages

South American Language Families

The Jabutian languages, also called Yabutian or Jabuti, are two closely related and moribund languages of southern Rondonia, Brazil: Arikapu (also called Maxubi) and Djeoromitxi (also called Yabuti or Jaboti). They form a small branch of the Macro-Je language family of South America. Maxubi was once regarded as a separate language but is now understood to represent a variety of Arikapu, and both remaining languages face imminent extinction.
