Xukuruan Languages
The Xukuruan languages are a language family proposed by Loukotka (1968) that links two extinct and poorly attested languages of eastern Brazil. The languages are: * Xukuru * Paratió Loutkotka (1968) also lists the unattested Garañun (Garanhun), an extinct, undocumented language once spoken in the Serra dos Garanhuns. Vocabulary Loukotka (1968) lists the following basic vocabulary items for Shukurú and Paratio. : Pompeu (1958) These word lists of language varieties from the Serra do Urubá (also known as the Serra do Arorobá or Serra do Ororubá, located in the municipality of Pesqueira, Pernambuco) are reproduced from Pompeu Sobrinho (1958).Pompeu Sobrinho, Thomaz. 1958.

Xukuru Language
Xukuru (Xucuru, Shukurú, Ichikile) was a poorly attested language of Brazil. It is also known as ''Kirirí, Kirirí-Xokó, Ichikile''. It is known only from a few word lists and a sketch by Geraldo Lapenda (1962).Lapenda, Geraldo Calábria. 1962O dialecto Xucuru ''Doxa'' (Revista Oficial do Departamento de Cultura do Diretório Acadêmico da Faculdade de Filosofia de Pernambuco da Universidade do Recife), ano X, n. 10, p. 11-23. It was originally spoken in the Serra de São José and on the Meio River, Capibaribe River and Taperoa River in the states of Pernambuco and Paraíba. Loukotka (1968) reports the most recent locations as the Serra Ararobá and Cimbres. Classification Loukotka (1968) considers Xukuru to form a small family with Paratió. Other languages with this name ''Xukuru-Kariri'' is a variety of Xokó, which may be a Kariri language. The name ''Kiriri'' is shared by Dzubukuá, another Kariri language, and by Katembri.

Paratió Language
Paratió (also called Prakió) is an extinct and poorly attested language of Brazil. It appears to have been related to Xukuru. It was originally spoken on the Capibaribe River, and was reported by Loukotka (1968) to have been spoken by a few individuals in Cimbres. As of the 1900s, the Xukuru population still had some recollection of the Paratió population, however the Paratió's geographical location suggests that they could be ancestors of the Kapinawá The Kapinawâ are an indigenous people of Buíque, Pernambuco in eastern Brazil. In addition to their primary residence in Buíque Buíque is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Pernambuco, mesoregion of Agreste. It has an estimated popul ....

Language Family
A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ''ancestral language'' or ''parental language'', called the proto-language of that family. The term "family" reflects the tree model of language origination in historical linguistics, which makes use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family tree, or in a subsequent modification, to species in a phylogenetic tree of evolutionary taxonomy. Linguists therefore describe the ''daughter languages'' within a language family as being ''genetically related''. According to '' Ethnologue'' there are 7,151 living human languages distributed in 142 different language families. A living language is defined as one that is the first language of at least one person. The language families with the most speakers are: the Indo-European family, with many widely spoken languages native to Europe (such as English and Spanish) and South Asia (such as Hindi and Bengali); and the Sino-Tibetan famil ...

Čestmír Loukotka
Čestmír Loukotka (12 November 1895 – 13 April 1966) was a Czechoslovak linguist. His daughter was Jarmila Loukotková. Career Loukotka proposed a Classification of indigenous languages of the Americas#Loukotka (1968), classification for the languages of South America based on several previous works. This classification contained a lot of unpublished material and was therefore superior to all previous classifications. He divided the languages of South America and the Caribbean into 77 different families, based upon similarities of vocabulary and available lists. His classification of 1968 is the most influential and was based upon two previous schemes (1935, 1944), which were similar to those proposed by Paul Rivet (whom he was a student of), although the number of families was increased to 94 and 114.
