Classification
Rodrigues & Cabral (2012)
Rodrigues & Cabral (2012) propose eight branches of Tupí–Guaraní:
* Tupí–Guaraní
**
Guaraní (Group I)
**
Guarayu (Group II):
Guarayu,
Pauserna**,
Sirionó (dialects: Yuqui, Jorá**)
**
Tupí (Group III):
Old Tupi (lingua franca dialect:
Tupí Austral), Tupinambá (dialects:
Nheengatu,
Língua Geral as lingua franca, and
Potiguára),
Cocama–
Omagua*,
Tupinikin**
**
Tenetehara (Group IV):
Akwáwa (dialects: Asuriní, Suruí do Pará, Parakanã),
Avá-Canoeiro,
Tapirapé,
Tenetehára (dialects:

Turiwára
**

Anambé of Ehrenreich,
Emerillon,
Guajá,

Zo'é,
Takunyapé,
Urubú–Kaapor,
Wayampipukú
*Cabral argues that Kokama/Omagua is a
mixed language, and so not directly classifiable, though most of its basic vocabulary is Tupi–Guarani.
**Not listed in Rodrigues & Cabral (2012)
Karipuna language (Amapá) may be spurious.

Proto-Tupi-Guarani (PTG) defining each of the 8 Tupi-Guarani groups as listed by Rodrigues & Cabral (2002):
