Tutxiunaua (Tuchiunawa,[2] Tuxinawa[3]) is an extinct Panoan language of Brazil. Its only documentation comes from a list of 127 words collected in 1923.
Classification
[edit]According to David Fleck (2013), it closely resembled dialects of Yaminawa.[2]
History
[edit]In 1923, the Tutxiunawa people were nearly extinct. That year, a Tutxiunawa woman was encountered; from her, it was confirmed that Tutxiunawa was a Panoan language.[1] A total of 127 words were collected and published in 1929.[2][1]
