Yarumá language (Carib)

Yarumá is an extinct and poorly attested Cariban language. Kaufman (2007) placed it in his Arara branch, as does Gildea (1998).

For the Yarumá dialect of the Gean language, see Suyá language.

Since its wordlist was published in 1936 (Krause 1936), and ethnographic works were published from the 1940s to 1960s, it probably went extinct during the 20th century.

According to Carvalho (2020), Yarumá forms part of the Kampot dialect cluster along with Ikpeng, Apiaká do Tocantins, Parirí, and Arára.[1]
