Nambikwara language : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nambikwara language
The Nambikwara language (''Southern Nambikwara'' or ''Kitãulhu,'' contrasting with ''Northern Nambikwara'' or ''Mamaindé;'' also spelled Nambikuára, Nhambikwara or Nambiquara) is an indigenous language of Brazil, spoken by about 1200 Nambikwara people in the Mato Grosso state. It forms a small Nambikwaran language family, which are often considered dialects of a single language despite not being mutually intelligible. They are a language isolate; Joseph Greenberg had included in his Gê–Pano–Carib phylum,〔McQuown & Greenberg 1960〕 but this has not been followed by other linguists. Nambikwara is in vigorous use in the Nambikwara communities and in spite of having few speakers the language is not endangered. The name Nambikwara is of Tupi origin. Most Nambikwara are monolingual but some young men speak Portuguese.〔Kroeker, 2001 p.1〕 ==Phonology== Nambikwara phonology is complex: it distinguishes aspirated, glottalized and plain consonants, and also has two different phonation types of vowels, nasal vowels and three tones.
