Guarequena (Warekena) is an Arawakan language of Brazil and Venezuela. It is one of several languages which goes by the generic name Baré.
Kaufman (1994) classified it in a Warekena group of Western Nawiki Upper Amazonian, Aikhenvald (1999) in Eastern Nawiki.
Personal pronouns in Warekena are formed by adding an emphatic suffix -ya to the cross-referencing personal prefixes.[3]
