Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area

Map of the locations of the indigenous settlements of Bolivia

The Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area is a linguistic area that includes over a dozen South American language families and isolates of the Mamoré–Guaporé region of eastern lowland Bolivia (the Llanos de Moxos and Chiquitania regions) and Brazil (Rondônia[1] and Mato Grosso states).[2]

Languages

Crevels and van der Voort (2008) propose a Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area in eastern lowland Bolivia (in Beni Department and Santa Cruz Department) and Rondônia and northwestern Mato Grosso, Brazil. In Bolivia, many of the languages were historically spoken at the Jesuit Missions of Moxos and also the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos. Language families and branches in the linguistic area are as follows.[3]

Tupian branches in the Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area are:

Macro-Jê branches in the Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area are:

Language isolates in the linguistic area are:

Linguistic features

Areal features include:[3]

  • a high incidence of prefixes
  • evidentials
  • directionals
  • verbal number
  • lack of nominal number
  • lack of classifiers
  • inclusive/exclusive distinction

Pieter Muysken et al. (2014) also performed a detailed statistical analysis of the Mamoré–Guaporé linguistic area.[4]
