Urequena (Uerequena, Arequena,[2] Orelhudos) is currently extinct, and is known only from an undated 19-century manuscript by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer.[3] Natterer gives the Içá River (or Putumayo River) as the location of the Urequena language.[4]

External relationships

Jolkesky (2009) had classified the Andoque–Urequena and Duho languages as part of a proposed Macro-Daha stock.[5] However, the Macro-Daha hypothesis was retracted in Jolkesky (2016), as similarities with the Duho languages were considered to be due to contact.[1]

gollark: Research suggests there might even be more than seven.
gollark: There are at least three of them.
gollark: Space.
gollark: So anyway, my plan is to smelt asteroids into giant platinum wires, push them into the core, and then run electricity through this whole setup.
