Andoque–Urequena languages


Andoque–Urequena is a language family that consists of a pair of languages, Andoque and Urequena. The close relationship of Urequena to Andoque was first recognized by Marcelo Jolkesky.
Urequena is currently extinct, and is known only from an undated 19-century manuscript by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer. Natterer gives the Içá River as the location of the Urequena language.

External relationships

Jolkesky had classified the Andoque–Urequena and Duho languages as part of a proposed Macro-Daha stock. However, the Macro-Daha hypothesis was retracted in Jolkesky, as similarities with the Duho languages were considered to be due to contact.
