Wiriná language
Wiriná (Uirina) is an extinct, poorly attested, and unclassified Arawakan language. It is known only from the wordlists of Johann Natterer and Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, recorded in the 19th century. Both Kaufman (1994) and Aikhenvald (1999) leave it unclassified within Northern Arawakan.
