Koropó language

Koropó (Coropó) is an extinct language of eastern Brazil. It has been variously classified as a Maxakalían or a Purian language.

Although Silva Neto (2007) had assumed Koropó to be a Purian language, Nikulin (2020) classifies Koropó as Macro-Jê (Maxakalían branch).

In the 18th century, Koropó speakers lived with Coroado Puri speakers along the Pomba River in Minas Gerais.

Koropó is attested by two word lists collected by German explorers in the early 1800s:

Koropó has a 5-vowel system.
