Tiriyó (tarëno ijomi; Eastern Maroon Creole: Tiiyotongo) is the Cariban language used in everyday life by the Tiriyó people, the majority of whom are monolingual. Although Tiriyó is the preferred spelling, the Tiriyó refer to themselves as tarëno; other variations, including tarano, tirió, and trio, exist. The Tiriyó are located on both sides of the Brazil-Suriname border in Lowland South America. Because Tiriyó is spoken by the entire Tiriyó population, its level of endangerment is low. However, it may be threatened by the presence of a newly installed radar station staffed by a considerable number of non-Indigenous people close to the main village.
Ewarhuyana, listed as an unclassified language in sources, is an alternate name for Tiriyó. A supposed "Salumá" language turned out to be either Tiriyó or Waiwai.
