Trans-Tocantins languages

South American Language Families

The Trans-Tocantins languages are a proposed subgroup of the Northern Je languages comprising four languages spoken west of the Tocantins River in Brazil: Apinaje, Mebengokre, Kisedje and Tapayuna. The group divides into Apinaje, spoken east of the Araguaia River, and the Trans-Araguaia subbranch covering the remaining three languages, and together with the Timbira dialect continuum the Trans-Tocantins languages make up the Northern branch of the wider Je family.
