Akurio · 3.2°N 55.6°W

Akurio (Eastern Maroon Creole: Awayaikuletongo), also known as Akuriyó, is an extinct Cariban language. It was spoken by the Akurio people in Suriname until the late 20th century, after which they switched to the closely related Tiriyó language. Akurio has since undergone heavy influence from Tiriyó, and was replaced by it, with the last native speakers being reported to have died in 2002. Only three people could remember the language in 2012.
