Guajiboan (also Guahiban, Wahívoan, Guahiboan) is a language family spoken in the Orinoco River region in eastern Colombia and southwestern Venezuela, which is a savannah-like area known in Colombia as the ''Llanos''. ==Family division== Guajiboan consists of 5 languages: * Macaguane ( Hitnü, Macaguán, Makawane, Agualinda, Agualinda Guahibo, Támude) * Southwest Guajiboan * * Guayabero ( Cunimía, Mítiwa, Mitúa, Mitu, Hiw, Jiw, Wayavero, Guaviare) * * Churuya ( Bisanigua, Guaigua) ''(†)'' * Central Guajiboan * * Guajibo ( Guahibo, Sikuani, Sicuani, Chiricoa, Hiwi, Jiwi, Jivi, Wahivo, Wahibo, Guaybo, Goahibo, Guaigua, Guayba, Goahiva) * * * Waü (west) * * * Newütjü ( Tigrero) * * * Parawá (east) * * * Hamorúa ( Amorúa, Jamorúa) * * * Dome ( Playero, Cajaro) * * Cuiva ( Wamonae, Cuiba, Kuiba, Deja, Cuiba-Wámonae) * * * Pimenepiwi (Meta river) * * * Aitopiwi (Ariporo river) * * * Yaraüraxi (Capanaparo river) * * * Waüpiwi ( Wipiwi, Yomati) * * * Siripuxi ( Tsiripu, Siripu) * * * Mayaraxi ( Mariposo, Mayalero) Churuya is now extinct. It was formerly spoken in Meta, Colombia. Macaguane is listed as a dialect of Guajibo in Kaufman (1994) and Campbell (1997). Gordon (2005) lists Playero (also Rio Arauca Guahibo), a dialect of Guajibo, as a separate language with a "low intelligibility of other Guahibo". Guajibo and Cuiva form a dialect continuum. Guajibo has the most speakers (over 23,000) and is the largest indigenous group in eastern Colombia. Approximately 9,000 in Venezuela. Guayabero is the most divergent language of the family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guajiboan languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
