Purian languages are a pair of extinct languages of eastern Brazil:
- Puri
- Coroado Puri (also known as Colorado)
Coropó (Koropó), once spoken in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, was added by Campbell (1997), but removed again by Ramirez et al. (2015).[1]
Purian is part of the Macro-Jê proposal. However, when Coropó is removed, there are not sufficient lexical connections to maintain this classification.[2]
Attestation
[edit]The Purian languages are only attested by a few word lists from the 19th century. The lists are:[1]
Puri:
- Martius (1863: 194–195), collected in 1818 at São João do Presídio (now Visconde do Rio Branco, Minas Gerais).[3]
- Eschwege (2002: 122–127), collected in 1815 near São João do Presídio[4]
- Torrezão (1889: 511–513), collected in 1885 at Abre Campo (near Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais)[5]
- Martius (1863: 195–198), collected in 1818 near São João do Presídio
- Eschwege (2002: 122–127), collected in 1815 near São João do Presídio
- Marlière (Martius, 1889: 198–207), collected between 1817 and 1819 at missions along the lower Paraíba do Sul River[6]
- Saint-Hilaire (2000: 33), collected in 1816 near Valença, Rio de Janeiro[7]
Koropó is attested by two word lists:
- Eschwege (2002: 122–127), 127 words collected in 1815
- Schott (1822, pp. 48–51), 55 words collected in 1818[8]
Distribution
[edit]The Purian languages were spoken in a continuous region stretching from the Preto River to the Paraíba River (from Queluz, São Paulo to Paraibuna, São Paulo). The Puri occupied the Upper Paraíba do Sul River up to Queluz, São Paulo, and the Coroado from the Pomba River to the Doce River in Minas Gerais.[1]

[edit]Mason (1950) lists the following dialects of Coroado and Puri:[9]

However, similarities in Koropó were later found to be loanwords by Ramirez et al. (2015), who classifies Koropó as Maxakalían.[1] Nikulin (2020) also classifies Koropó as Macro-Jê (Maxakalían branch).[12]
