Classification
Although Silva Neto (2007) had assumed Koropó to be a Purian language,[2] Nikulin (2020) classifies Koropó as Macro-Jê (Maxakalían branch).[3]
Documentation
Koropó is attested by two word lists collected by German explorers in the early 1800s:[4]
Distribution
In the 18th century, Koropó speakers lived with Coroado Puri speakers along the Pomba River in Minas Gerais.[4]

gollark: We have soulless chocolate too!
gollark: Oh, *that*. Synthetic soul generation was managed a few years back.
gollark: You checked wrong, clearly.
gollark: It is identical to traditionally produced chocolate down to the subatomic level.
