Paratió (also called Praki-ô, Prakió,[2] and Paraquió[3][4]) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil, known only through two wordlists published in 1958.[5] It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog. However, there is very little evidence to determine this relationship.[6] The modern-day Paratió, originally settled in the aldeia of Macaco, now call themselves Kapinawá.[2]

Geographical distribution

It was originally spoken along the Capibaribe River, and was reported by Loukotka (1968) to have been spoken by a few individuals in Cimbres as of 1964.[7]

History

As of the 1900s, the Xukuru population still had some recollection of the Paratió population, however the Paratió's geographical location suggests that they could be ancestors of the Kapinawá.[8]
