Kanoê

The Kanoê (also as the Canoe, Kapixaná and Kapixanã)[1] are an indigenous people of southern Rondônia, Brazil, near the Bolivian border. There are two major groups of Kanoê: one residing in the region of the Guaporé River and another in the Rio Omerê Indigenous Territory. The latter consists of just five individuals following violent contact with white settlers in the last few decades.[2] The Kanoê of the Guaporé River have also had a troubled history of interaction with colonists; significantly reduced in population, they are now largely assimilated into neighbouring indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.[3]

For the language, see Kanoê language.

Language

The Kanoê language is an isolated, almost extinct language isolate.

gollark: I doubt anyone minds much and you should send it for learning purposes™.
gollark: I'm pretty sure there are already things around for this.
gollark: It would probably help if you posted *all* the code for review instead of just some parts.
gollark: Because you can already *do* that, it's just quite slow and any sane thing is using proper slow hashing things like argon2.
