It is not clear if these were one language or three. It is only known from a few dozen words from one Kariri-Xoco elder and three Xukuru-Kariri elders in 1961.Rememberers persisted for some time after that. Xocó proper has only 4 known words.

The confusion likely arises from the Kariri community referring to Dzubukuá as Kariri-Xocó. Other languages with this name ''Xoco, Xukuru,'' and ''Karir ...
