Maynas (Mayna, Maina), also known as Rimachu, is an extinct and unclassified language of Peru. Several sources have listed it as a dialect of Omurano, which also goes by the name Mayna, but Hammarström (2011) showed that they are separate languages. Attempts have been made to link Maynas with the Jivaroan, Cahuapanan, Zaparoan, and Candoshi languages, but they have not yet been conclusive (Campbell & Grondona 2012).
