Chapacuran
The Chapacuran languages are a nearly extinct Native American language family of South America. Almost all Chapacuran languages are extinct, and the four that are extant are moribund. They are spoken in Rondônia in the southern Amazon Basin of Brazil and in northern Bolivia. According to Kaufman (1990), the Chapacuran family could be related to the extinct Wamo language.
