Wayoró is a moribund Tupian language which is spoken in the state of Rondônia, in the Amazon region of Brazil. As of 2019, there were reported to be 3 speakers (all above 70 years old) and 11 semispeakers.[2]: 3
Syntax
As in other Tuparian languages, the main clauses of Wayoró follow the cross-linguistically rare nominative–absolutive pattern. Person prefixes on the verb are absolutive, i.e., they index the sole argument of an intransitive verb (S) and the patient argument ('direct object') of a transitive verb (P). Person pronouns, which follow the verb (either cliticizing to it or not) are nominative: they may encode the sole argument of an intransitive verb (S) or the agent argument of a transitive verb (A), but not the patient of a transitive verb (P). This is exemplified below.[3]: 99
Eamõjãn (en). s-V (S) /e-amõc-a-t (ẽt)/ 2-dance-TH-NFUT (2.NOM) ‘You danced.’
Etopkwap nã on. p-V A /e-top-kʷ-a-p nã õt/ 2-see-PL-TH-p FUT 1.NOM ‘I’ll see you every day.’
