Paratió (also called Prakió[1]) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil. It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog.
Geographical distribution
[edit]It was originally spoken on the Capibaribe River, and was reported by Loukotka (1968) to have been spoken by a few individuals in Cimbres.[2]
History
[edit]As of the 1900s, the Xukuru population still had some recollection of the Paratió population, however the Paratió's geographical location suggests that they could be ancestors of the Kapinawá.[3]
