Paratió (also called Prakió[1] and Paraquicz (Holmer 1954)) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil, known only through wordlists published in 1958.[2] It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog. However, there is very little evidence to determie this relationship (Campbell 2024).

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]
