Waitaká Language
Waitaká (Guaitacá, Goyatacá, Goytacaz) is an extinct language of Brazil, on the São Mateus River and near Cabo de São Tomé in the state of Rio de Janeiro (state), Rio de Janeiro. Not a word of it is known. Dialects, or at least tribal divisions, were Mopi, Yacorito, Wasu language, Wasu, and Miri.
