Kipeá (Quipea), or Kariri, is an extinct Karirian language of Brazil. It is sometimes considered a dialect of a single Kariri language. A short grammatical treatise is available.[1][2]
Documentation
[edit]Kipeá is well documented by Luiz Mamiani, a Jesuit priest who wrote a grammar[3] and catechism[4] of the Kipeá language during the late 1600s.[5]
