Tarairiú Caratiú is an extinct and very poorly known language of eastern Brazil. The Tarairiu nation was divided into several tribes: the Jandoino, Kanindé, Paiaku (Pajacú, Bajacú), Jenipapo, Jenipabuçu, Javó, Kamaçu, Tukuriju, Arariu, and "Xukuru" / Xacó. The language is attested only through a few word lists. A few words resemble those of neighboring Kariri (and other Macro-Je) and Xukuru languages, but not enough to support a genealogical connection. Kaufman (1994) reports that "not even Greenberg dares classify this language". Some of the recorded words: Resemblances with Macro-Je languages are in ''kebra'' 'stone' (Proto-Je *kɛn), ''kreká'' 'head' ( *krã), ''koreké'' 'hand' ( *-ĩkra), and ''poyá'' 'foot' ( *par). Resemblances with Xukuru are ''kiro-'' 'fire' (Xukuru ''kiyo''), ''kringó'' 'eat' (''kringgo'' 'feed'), ''sok'' 'house' (''šekh''). == References == * Juvandi de Souza Santos (2009): ''(Cariri e tarairiú?
