Maku (Macu, Máku, Mácu, Makú, Macú) or Maco (Mako, Máko, Macó, Makó) is a pejorative term referring to several hunter-gatherer peoples of the upper Amazon, derived from an Arawakan term ''ma-aku'' "do not speak / without speech". Nimuendajú (1950) notes six peoples of Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil that are known as 'Maku'. In linguistic literature, it refers primarily to: * the Nadahup languages, a small language family in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela (sometimes disambiguated as ''Makú'' or ''Macú'', though that form can apply to any of these, or as ''Makuan'') * the Maku language of Roraima, a language isolate of Brazil and Venezuela (sometimes disambiguated as ''Máku, Mácu,'' or ''Máko'', the Portuguese form of the name) * the Wirö dialect of Piaroa (sometimes disambiguated as ''Mako'' or ''Maco'') It has also been used for various other languages in the area, such as: *the Cofán language Mako or Cofán-Makú *the Arutani–Sape languages *the Yanomaman languages *the Carabayo language Other peoples called Maku include, * the Marueta people ==References== *Francois Correa, (Introducción a la Colombia Amerindia ) 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「Maku people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
