Sanavirón is an extinct and unclassified language once spoken near the Salinas Grandes in Córdoba, Argentina. Loukotka (1968)[1] classified it as a language isolate, but there is insufficient data to justify this according to Campbell (2012, 2024).[2][3] Previous classifications have linked it with Comechingón, Cacán, or Lule–Vilela.[4]
