Xukuru (Xucuru, Shukurú, Ichikile, Xukurú: Brobo) is a poorly attested extinct language of Brazil, once spoken by the Xukuru people. It is known only from a few word lists. Xukuru was originally spoken in the Serra de São José and on the Meio River, Capibaribe River and Taperoa River in the states of Pernambuco and Paraíba. The Xukuru live in the Serra Ararobá and Pesqueira (formerly containing the aldeia of Cimbres). In Rio Grande do Norte, the Tapuia Tarairiú people are reviving the Xukuru language, as are the Xukuru themselves.
