Zoró
The Zoró (autonym: ''Pangyjej'') are an indigenous people native to the states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia, Brazil. Their population was around 787 in 2020. Etymology The name Zoró originates from the word ''monshoro'' (dry head), which is a derogatory term in the Surui language, whose speakers were neighboring enemies of the Zoró. The word ''monshoro'' was shortened to ''shoro'' and then, over time, to ''zoró''. Demographics Language The Zoró speak the Zoró language, which Ethnologue considers a dialect of the Gavião of Jiparaná language, a Tupian language of the Monde branch. However, their dialect is sometimes considered a separate language because it is mutually unintelligible with the other dialects of the Gavião of Jiparaná language. Economy Traditionally, the economy of the Zoró was based on hunting, horticulture, fishing, and gathering. In the 1980s, they sold handicrafts or worked in rubber extraction. In the 1990s, the main economy of the Zoró became ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Their language is part of the Monde languages, Monde branch of the Tupian languages. The Arara were an uncontacted tribe until the 1950s. At the time, they were at war with the neighboring Gavião. Through the Gavião, the Brazilian government contacted the Arara and enforced a peace. Their numbers declined rapidly after contact; only 50 were alive in 1966. The New Tribes Mission introduced medical care, and the population rose to over 200 by the 1990s.

Tupian Language
The Tupi or Tupian language family comprises some 70 languages spoken in South America, of which the best known are Tupi proper and Guarani. Homeland and ''urheimat'' Rodrigues (2007) considers the Proto-Tupian urheimat to be somewhere between the Guaporé and Aripuanã rivers, in the Madeira River basin. Much of this area corresponds to the modern-day state of Rondônia, Brazil. Five of the ten Tupian branches are found in this area, as well as some Tupi–Guarani languages (especially Kawahíb), making it the probable urheimat of these languages and maybe of its speaking peoples. Rodrigues believes the Proto-Tupian language dates back to around 3,000 BC. Language contact Tupian languages have extensively influenced many language families in South America. Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Arawa, Bora-Muinane, Guato, Irantxe, Jivaro, Karib, Kayuvava, Mura-Matanawi, Taruma, Trumai, Yanomami, Harakmbet, Katukina-Katawixi, Ara ...

Timber
Lumber is wood that has been processed into uniform and useful sizes (dimensional lumber), including beams and planks or boards. Lumber is mainly used for construction framing, as well as finishing (floors, wall panels, window frames). Lumber has many uses beyond home building. Lumber is referred to as timber in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, while in other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada, the term ''timber'' refers specifically to unprocessed wood fiber, such as cut logs or standing trees that have yet to be cut. Lumber may be supplied either rough- sawn, or surfaced on one or more of its faces. ''Rough lumber'' is the raw material for furniture-making, and manufacture of other items requiring cutting and shaping. It is available in many species, including hardwoods and softwoods, such as white pine and red pine, because of their low cost. ''Finished lumber'' is supplied in standard sizes, mostly for the construction ind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ethnic Groups In Brazil
Brazilian society is made up of a confluence of people of Indigenous, Portuguese, and African descent. Other major significant groups include Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Lebanese, and Japanese. Latin Europe accounted for four-fifths of the arrivals (2.25 million Portuguese, 1.5 million Italians, and 700,000 Spaniards). Brazil has seen greater racial equality over time. According to a recent review study, "There has been major, albeit uneven, progress in these terms since slavery, which has unfortunately not wholly translated into equality of income: only in 2011 did the black-to-white income ratio eclipse its 1960 level, although it appears to be at an all-time high. Education and migration were important factors in closing the gap, whereas school quality and discrimination may explain its persistence." Historic background The Brazilian population was formed by the influx of Portuguese settlers and African slaves, mostly Bantu and West African populations (such ...
