Harákmbut–Katukinan is a proposal linking the South American indigenous language families Harákmbut and Katukinan. There is reasonably good evidence that the two are related.[1] Jolkesky (2011) also adds Arawan to the family.[2]
Family division
[edit]- Harákmbut–Katukinan
- Harákmbut
- Huachipaeri (also known as Huachipaire, Wacipaire)
- Amarakaeri
- Katukinan
- Katukina-Kanamari (also known as Kanamarí)
- Katawixi (also known as Catawishi)
- Arawan
- Harákmbut
Jolkesky (2011) concludes Arawan is closer to Harákmbut than to Katukinan.[2]
Internal branching of the Arawá-Katukína-Harakmbet family according to Jolkesky (2011):[2]
Language contact
[edit]Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with Arawakan languages due to contact.[3]
