Mato Grosso Arára (also disambiguated as Arara do BeiradãoorArara do Rio Branco, and also known as Koaiá ~ KoayáorYugapkatã[1]) is an extinct unclassified languageofBrazil. The ethnic population that spoke the language numbers about 150.
The language is unclassified, with no known connections to established families. It is attested in a single word list, which shows it is neither Tupian nor Arawakan. Four people remembered the language in 2001, and two in 2008, but none were fluent speakers.[2]
Jolkesky (2010) notes some lexical similarities with Tupian.[3]
The following vocabulary list was collected in 2011 by Inês Hargreaves from two Arara groups in the north of the Parque Aripuanã, Rondônia. The informants were João Luis V. Arara, José Rodrigues V. Arara, Maria Aruy Arara, and Ana Anita Arara.[4]
