Amanayé (Amanaje) is a possibly extinct Tupi language last spoken in the town of São Domingos on the Capim River in Pará State, Brazil.[1][2] The closely related but possibly distinct language is Ararandewara, which is spoken at the headwaters of the Moju River.[3] It is unknown whether the Amanayé continue to speak the language or not.[4]
