Kiriri Languages
The Karirí languages, generally considered dialects of a single language, were a group of languages formerly spoken by the Kiriri people of Brazil. It was spoken until the middle of the 20th century; the 4,000 ethnic Kiriri are now monolingual Portuguese speakers, though a few know common phrases and names of medicinal plants. History After the Dutch were expelled from Northeast Brazil in the 17th century, Portuguese settlers rapidly colonized the region, forcing Kariri speakers to become widely dispersed due to forced migrations and resettlement. Hence, Kariri languages became scattered across Paraíba, Ceará, Pernambuco, Bahia, and other states. Languages The four known Kariri languages are: * Kipeá (Quipea, Kariri) * Kamurú (Camuru) * Dzubukuá (Dzubucua, Kiriri) * Sabujá (Sapoyá, Pedra Branca) There are short grammatical descriptions of Kipeá and Dzubukuá, and word lists for Kamurú and Sabujá.
