Janambre (Xanambre) is a poorly attested extinct language that was spoken in Tamaulipas, northeast Mexico.[1] It has no apparent relatives and remains unclassified. Campbell (1997), based on William Bright (1955), suggests a relationship with the extinct, unclassified languages Naolan and Tamaulipeco, although no evidence is given.[2] Other languages unclassified extinct languages of Tamaulipas include the language of the Pisones, "Negrito" and Olive.[3]
