Yurumanguí is an extinct language isolate formerly spoken along the Yurumanguí River on the Pacific coast of Colombia. It is known only from a wordlist collected in the 1760s. The French linguist Paul Rivet proposed in 1942 that it belonged to the Hokan language family, a hypothesis no longer accepted by modern classifications, leaving Yurumanguí without any established genealogical relative.
