Wayumara is an extinct and poorly attested Cariban language. Kaufman (2007) placed it in his Makiritare branch as a close relative of Ye'kuana, [1] [2] but his classification is outdated. [3] Glottolog groups the language in the Guianan Carib branch, following Girard (1971), [4] in a subgroup with Ye'kuana. [5]
