Parkatêjê, or Pará Gavião, is a Timbira variety of the Jê language family of Brazil. It is spoken by 12 [1]: 10 individuals in Terra Indígena Mãe Maria ( Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Pará). It is closely related to Kỳikatêjê, spoken by another Timbira group in the same reservation. Parkatêjê has been described and documented by Leopoldina Araújo [2] [3] and, more recently, by other researchers from the Federal University of Pará.

Parkatêjê (and Kỳikatêjê) differ from all other Timbira varieties in lacking a contrast between /k/ and /kʰ/. Moreover, the glottal stop /ʔ/ in Parkatêjê may not occupy the coda position of a syllable, which Ribeiro-Silva (2020) attributes to loss of Proto-Timbira *ʔ in codas in Parkatêjê. [5]
