Macro-Jê (also spelled Macro-Gê) is a medium-sized language stock in South America, mostly in Brazil but also in small parts of Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. It is centered on the Jê language family, with all other branches currently being single languages due to recent extinctions. The family was first proposed in 1926, and has undergone moderate modifications since then. Kaufman (1990) finds the proposal "probable". *Jê (16 languages in three branches: Kaingáng (speakers of four languages ), and northern and southern Jê languages such as Xavánte (speakers )) *Krenák (Botocudo) *Borôro *Kamakã () *Karajá *Karirí () *Maxakalían *Ofayé *Purían () *Rikbaktsá *Yabutian () Eduardo Ribeiro of the University of Chicago finds no evidence to classify Fulniô (Yatê) and Guató as Macro-Je, ''pace'' Kaufman, nor Otí and Chiquitano, ''pace'' Greenberg.〔Ribeiro, Eduardo Rivail. 2012. ''A grammar of Karajá.'' University of Chicago. 302.〕 These languages share irregular morphology with the Tupi and Carib families, and Rodrigues (2000) and Ribeiro connect them all as a Je–Tupi–Carib family. ''Glottolog'' accepts Je, Krenak (Aimore), Karaja, Maxakali, Ofaie, Rikbaktsa, and Yabutian (Jabuti), with Karaja, Ofaie, Rikbaktsa in a single "Ofaie" branch. Lexical parallels with Kamakanan and Purian have yet to be corroborated with reconstructions. It notes suggestive grammatical similarities with Bororoan, Kariri, and Chiquitano, of the kind also shared with Tupian and Cariban, but little lexical evidence. == References == 〔 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「Macro-Jê languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
