Extinct language of Brazil
Koropó (Coropó) is an
extinct language of eastern
Brazil. It has been variously classified as a
Maxakalían or a
Purian language.
Classification
Although Silva Neto (2007) had assumed Koropó to be a
Purian language,
[2] Nikulin (2020) classifies Koropó as
Macro-Jê (
Maxakalían branch).
[3]
Documentation
Koropó is attested by two word lists collected by German explorers in the early 1800s:
[4]
-
Eschwege (2002: 122-127), 127 words collected in 1815
-
Schott (1822, pp. 48-51), 55 words collected in 1818
[5]
Distribution
In the 18th century, Koropó speakers lived with
Coroado Puri speakers along the
Pomba River in
Minas Gerais.
