Paratió language
Extinct language of Brazil From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paratió (also called Prakió[1]) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil, known only through a wordlist published in 1958.[2] It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog.

Geographical distribution
It was originally spoken on the Capibaribe River, and was reported by Loukotka (1968) to have been spoken by a few individuals in Cimbres.[3]
History
As of the 1900s, the Xukuru population still had some recollection of the Paratió population, however the Paratió's geographical location suggests that they could be ancestors of the Kapinawá.[4]
