Umotína is a recently extinct language of Brazil.
An extinct language known as Gamela was long considered unclassifiable. Kaufman (1994) said that 'only Gr[eenberg] dares to classify this language'. However, Linguist List gives it as a synonym for Umotína, which they place as a language isolate rather than Bororoan. (Greenberg had classified it as a Macro-Tukanoan language, about as distant as possible from Bororoan.)
