Payaguá (Payawá) is an extinct language isolate, proposed to be a member of the Mataco–Guaicuru languages, formerly spoken in Paraguay and Argentina by the Payaguá.
Classification
[edit]Viegas Barros (2004) proposed that Payaguá may be a Macro-Guaicurúan language.[3] However, Campbell (2012) classifies Payagua as a language isolate.[4]
Dialects
[edit]Two distinct dialects of Payaguá are distinguished by José Pedro Viegas Barros (2024), who proposes that either one is derived from the other, or that the two varieties coexisted at one time, but one was replaced by the other.[1]
