Urequena Language
The extinct Urequena language (also ''Urekena'' or ''Arequena'') is language variety that is closely related to Andoque. It is known only from an unpublished word list by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer that was probably recorded in June or July 1831. Vocabulary The table below adapted from Jolkesky (2016) shows similarities between Urequena and Andoque.Jolkesky, Marcelo Pinho De Valhery. 2016. Estudo arqueo-ecolinguístico das terras tropicais sul-americanas'. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Brasília. The Urequena (Uerequena, Arequena, Orelhudos) data is from an undated 19-century manuscript by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer. Natterer gives the |
Putumayo River
The Putumayo River or Içá River ( es, Río Putumayo, pt, Rio Içá) is one of the tributaries of the Amazon River, southwest of and parallel to the Japurá River. Course The Putumayo River forms part of Colombia's border with Ecuador, as well as most of the border with Peru. Known as the Putumayo in the former three nations, it is called the Içá when it crosses into Brazil. The Putumayo originates in the Andes Mountains east of the city of Pasto, Colombia. It empties into the Solimões (upper Amazon) near the municipality of Santo Antônio do Içá, Brazil. Major tributaries include the Guamués River, San Miguel, Güeppí, Cumpuya, Algodón, Igara-Paraná, Yaguas, Cotuhé, and Paraná de Jacurapá rivers. The river flows through the Solimões-Japurá moist forests ecoregion. History Exploration In the late 19th century, the Içá was navigated by the French explorer Jules Crevaux (1847–1882). He ascended it in a steamer drawing of water, and running day and night. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andoque–Urequena Languages
Andoque–Urequena is a language family that consists of a pair of languages, Andoque and Urequena. The close relationship of Urequena to Andoque was first recognized by Marcelo Jolkesky.Jolkesky, Marcelo Pinho De Valhery. 2016. Estudo arqueo-ecolinguístico das terras tropicais sul-americanas'. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Brasília. Urequena (Uerequena, Arequena, Orelhudos) is currently extinct, and is known only from an undated 19-century manuscript by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer. Natterer gives the (or |
Andoque Language
Andoque is a language spoken by a few hundred Andoque people in Colombia, and is in decline. There were 10,000 speakers in 1908, down to 370 a century later, of which at most 50 are monolingual. The remaining speakers live in the area of the Anduche River, downstream from Araracuara Airport, Araracuara, Solano, Caquetá, Colombia; the language is no longer spoken in Peru. Most speakers language shift, shifted to Spanish. Classification Andoque may be related to the extinct Urequena language (also ''Urekena'' or ''Arequena'') which is known only from a single 19th century wordlist. Kaufman's (2007) ''Bora–Witótoan stock'' includes Andoque in the Witótoan family, but other linguists, such as Richard Aschmann, consider Andoque an isolate. Phonology Vowels Landaburu (2000) reports nine oral vowels and six nasal vowels. Consonants The phoneme // is represented Orthography, orthographically as and the phoneme /j/ is written .

Johann Natterer
Johann Natterer (9 November 1787 – 17 June 1843) was an Austrian natural history, naturalist and List of explorers, explorer. Family and early life Johann Natterer was born on 9 November 1787, the son of the animal-zoologist Joseph Natterer Sr. and Maria Anna Theresia Schober (his mother), the daughter of a master baker from Laxenburg. He had a brother (Joseph Natterer, 1776–1852). Joseph Natterer Sr. was the last mounted falconer of Austria. When Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, Emperor Franz I dissolved the falconry (''Falknerei'') in Laxenburg, he bought the collection of Joseph Natterer Sr. This contained numerous domestic birds, mammals, and insects, and Franz I assigned it the further support and the development of the collection. The collection was brought in 1794 to Vienna and incorporated in the ''Tiercabinet'' with the ''k.k physical-astronomical'' as well as the ''Kunstcabinet''. The collection was soon made accessible to the public, however without scientific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
University Of Brasília
The University of Brasília ( pt, Universidade de Brasília, UnB) is a federal public university in Brasília, the capital of Brazil. It was founded in 1960 and has since consistently been named among the top five Brazilian universities and the top fifteen universities in South America by Times Higher Education (THE).

There are four campuses: the Darcy Ribeiro campus (regarded as the UnB’s nucleus), the Ceilândia, Gama and Planaltina campuses. Oscar Niemeyer, one of Modernism’s most feted architects, designed UnB’s main building, the Central Institute of Sciences and was also a key player in the university’s founding. Its strengths lie in its economics, international affairs and political science courses but its general teaching, research ...

Duho Languages
Duho is a proposed language family of South America, uniting two proposed genetic groupings, Hodi–SalibanRosés Labrada, J. E. 2015. Is Jodï a Sáliban Language? In: Workshop on historical relationships among languages of the Americas. Leiden, 2-5th September 2015, Universiteit Leiden. and Ticuna–Yuri. This language stock was proposed by Marcelo Jolkesky (2016), based on his previous but now disclaimed Macro-Daha stock which had also included the Andoque–Urequena languages.Jolkesky, Marcelo. 2009. Macro-Daha: reconstrução de um tronco lingüístico do noroeste amazônico'. ROSAE - I Congresso Internacional de Lingüística Histórica, 26-29 July 2009. Zamponi (2017) concludes that the similarities between Saliban and Hodɨ appear to be due to contact, but that a distant genealogical relationship between Betoi and Sáliban is plausible though not demonstrated. He does not address Ticuna–Yuri. Prehistory Jolkesky (2016) suggests that the homeland of Proto-Duho was in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
