The Amanayé tongue belongs to the Tupi-Guarani family. It was classified by linguist Aryon Rodrigues along with the Anambé and Turiwara languages, spoken by groups that live in the same region (1984). It is not known if the Amanayé continue to use their mother tongue.
Written after a text published in the series Povos Indígenas no Brasil, number 8 - Sudeste do Pará (Tocantins); and report by Elimilton Correia de Alencar, 4ª Suer - Funai, October 1990.
