Mamaindê, also known as Northern Nambikwara, is a Nambikwaran language spoken in the Mato Grosso state of Brazil, in the very north of the indigenous reserve, Terra Indígena Vale do Guaporé, between the Pardo and Cabixi Rivers. In the southern part of the reserve, speakers of Sabanê and Southern Nambikwara are found. ==Varieties== Among the Nambikwaran languages, at least Northern (Mamainde), Southern (Nambikwara), and Sabane are mutually unintelligible. Mamainde, however, is a dialect cluster, and its varieties are sometimes considered distinct languages. The following distinctions are made by Eberhard (2009). Population figures are those of ''Ethnologue'' 16, dated 2007: * Mamaindê proper (including Nagarotê, 330 speakers) * Latundê (20) * Lakondê (1) * Tawaindê (or Da’wan’du; unattested and speakers unknown) * Yalakalore (extinct and unattested) * Yalapmunde (Alapmunte; extinct and unattested) Yelelihre is another unattested Nambikwaran variety. 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「Mamaindê language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
