Jorá · 15.7°S 63.2°W

Jorá (Hora) is a possibly extinct Tupi–Guaraní language of Bolivia. It is closely related to Sirionó and Yuqui and is a member of Group II. Its speakers were exterminated in a genocide perpetrated against them in the mid-20th century, and survivors of the Jorá do not use the language. Only 165 entries, including words and short sentences, were documented of the language. As a consequence, little of its grammatical structure is known.
