Paratió (also called Paraquió, Praki-ô, Prakió[1]) is an indigenous language of the Northest of Brazil. It's related to the Tarairiú Family through Xukuru people.

It was originally spoken on the Capibaribe River, and was reported by Loukotka (1968) to have been spoken by a few individuals in Cimbres.[2] As of the 1900s, the Xukurú population still had some recollection of the Paratió population, however the Paratió's geographical location suggests that they could be ancestors of the Kapinawá.[3]
