(Redirected from Kipea language)
Karirian language of Brazil
Kipeá (Quipea), or Kariri, was a Karirian language of Brazil. It is sometimes considered a dialect of a single Kariri language. A short grammatical treatment is available.
Documentation
Kipeá is well documented by Luiz Mamiani, a Jesuit priest who wrote a grammar and catechism of the Kipeá language during the late 1600s.
Grammar
The morphology of the Kipeá language is predominantly isolating and analytic, unusual for a language native to the Americas.
