Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox language family

The Charruan languages are a language family once spoken in Uruguay and the Argentine province of Entre Ríos. In 2005, a semi-speaker of the Chaná language, Blas Wilfredo Omar Jaime, was found in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.[1]

Internal coherence

Charruan may actually consist of two or three unrelated families according to Nikulin (2019).[2] Nikulin notes that many of the following languages share very few basic vocabulary items with each other.

  1. Chaná as spoken by Blas Wilfredo Omar Jaime
  2. Chaná of Larrañaga (1923)[3]
  3. Charrúa of Vilardebó (1842)
  4. Güenoa from a short 18th-century catechesis quoted by Lorenzo Hervás y Panduro[4]

Languages

Four languages are considered to definitively belong to the Charruan language family, basically Chañá (Lanték), Nbeuá, Charrúa and Guenoa.[5]

A number of unattested languages are also presumed to belong to the Charruan family:[5]

Genetic relations

Jorge Suárez includes Charruan with Guaicuruan in a hypothetical Waikuru-Charrúa stock. Morris Swadesh includes Charruan along with Guaicuruan, Matacoan, and Mascoyan within his Macro-Mapuche stock. Both proposals appear to be obsolete.

Vocabulary comparison

The Charruan languages are poorly attested. However, sufficient vocabulary has been gathered for the languages to be compared:[5][6]
