Tïcuna–Yuri is a proposed connection between two language isolates of South America, the major western Amazonian language Tïcuna, and the poorly attested Yurí. Kaufman (1990, 1994) argues that the connection between the two is convincing even with the limited information available. Carvalho (2009) presented "compelling" evidence for the family (Campbell & Grondona 2012).
