Karirian language of Brazil
Kipeá (or Kiriri) is an extinct Karirian language of Brazil. It is sometimes considered a dialect of a single Kariri language. A short grammatical treatise is available.[2][3]
Kipeá is well documented by Luiz Mamiani, a Jesuit priest who wrote a grammar and catechism of the Kipeá language during the late 1600s.[4]
In the first semester of 1965, Gilda M. Corrêa de Azevedo completed her master’s thesis on Kipeá under the supervision of Aryon Rodrigues; it was the first master’s thesis on an Indigenous language ever produced in Brazil. The second semester, however, was marked by great turmoil as the military regime‘s appointed administrator arbitrarily fired 25 University of Brasília professors, which led to the resignation of more than 200 others, leaving only a few people remaining in the Department of Linguistics.
The morphology of the Kipeá language is predominantly isolating and analytic, unusual for a language native to the Americas.[9]
