Kapinawá · 8.5°S 38.3°W

Paratió (also called Praki-ô, Prakió, and Paraquió) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil, known only through two wordlists published in 1958. It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog. However, there is very little evidence to determine this relationship. The modern-day Paratió, originally settled in the aldeia of Macaco, now call themselves Kapinawá.
