Guaporé River region of Rondônia and in the
Uaçá River region of Amapá.
In Rondônia, the name originally applied to the Panoan language
Jau-Navo, and was the only language there called Karipuna until the 1950s. However, from the 1950s until the 1970s, the name was extended to newly contacted peoples in the region who spoke various dialects of the Tupian
Kawahib language.
FUNAI started using the name for several Kawahib dialects, creating the current confusion in the region.
In Amapá, the only attested Indigenous language that went by the name was the Arawakan language
Palikur. After the assimilation of the original Amapá people, the name was applied to immigrants, now known as the
Karipuna do Amapá, whose language was not recorded but was reported to be
Nheengatu, a Tupian language. Their recorded language is
Karipuna Creole French.
