The Nambikwara language (or Southern Nambikwara, contrasting with Mamaindé as Northern Nambikwara; also called Nambikuára, Nhambikwara or Nambiquara) is an indigenous language of Brazil, spoken by about 1200 Nambikwara people in the Mato Grosso state. It forms a small Nambikwaran language family, which are often considered dialects of a single language despite not being mutually intelligible.

  • The Nambikwara language (or Southern Nambikwara, contrasting with Mamaindé as Northern Nambikwara; also called Nambikuára, Nhambikwara or Nambiquara) is an indigenous language of Brazil, spoken by about 1200 Nambikwara people in the Mato Grosso state. It forms a small Nambikwaran language family, which are often considered dialects of a single language despite not being mutually intelligible. They are a language isolate; Joseph Greenberg had included in his Gê-Pano-Carib phylum, but this has not been followed by other linguists. Nambikwara is in vigorous use in the Nambikwara communities and in spite of having few speakers the language is not endangered. The name Nambikwara is of Tupi origin. Most Nambikwara are monolingual but some young men speak Portuguese.
  • Las lenguas nambicuranas son una reducida familia de lenguas indígenas de la selva amazónica habladas por la etnia nambicuara, hoy extendida por los estados brasileños de Mato Grosso y Rondonia. Comprende tres grupos de dialectos mutuamente ininteligibles. El idioma norteño agrupa las variedades Lakondê Latundê, Mamaindê, Nagarotê y Tawandê (5 en total); la sureña, once (entre ellas las variantes Campo, Manduka, Galera and Guaporé) y el Sabané, que no está subdividido.
  • Le nambikwara du Sud (ou nambiquara, nambikuára) est une langue nambikwarane parlée au Brésil, en Amazonie dans le Nord-Est de l'État du Mato Grosso par 1 150 Nambikwara .
  • Nambiquara, também nhambiquara (nambikwara), é uma língua índigena não pertencente a nenhuma família linguística ora conhecida, falada pelos nambiquaras.
