Description:
Kanoé or Kanoê (also called Amniapé) is an isolated, almost extinct Monde language from the Tupi language tree. Most of the speakers, who are all in Brazil now speak Portuguese or other tribal dialects based on intermarriage pattern.
Price (1978) thought Kanoe to be one of the Nambiquara languages. Greenberg (1990) tried to relate it to Kunsa. Greenberg (1997) presented small evidence that Kanoê may belong to the Macro-Tucanoan languages trunk...... full article at Wikipedia |
