Xakriabá (also written Chakriaba, Chikriaba, Shacriaba) is an extinct or dormant Akuwẽ (Central Jê) language (Jê, Macro-Jê) formerly spoken in Minas Gerais, Brazil by the Xakriabá people, who today speak Portuguese.[1] The language is known through two short wordlists collected by Augustin Saint-Hilaire and Wilhelm Ludwig von Eschwege.[2]: 14
The last confirmed native speaker of the language died in 1864.[citation needed]
History
Before 1712, Xakriabá was originally spoken along the São Francisco River near São Romão, Minas Gerais[3] (Saint-Hilaire 2000: 340-341).[4] The Xakriabá were then forced to migrate after being defeated by Matias Cardoso de Almeida and other Paulistas from 1690 onwards. In 1819, Saint-Hilaire (1975: 145)[5] noted that the Xakriabá of Triângulo Mineiro region spoke a Xerente dialect.[3]
