Jê languages
The Jê languages (also spelled Gê, Jean, Ye, Gean), or Jê–Kaingang languages, are spoken by the Gê, a group of indigenous peoples in Brazil.
Family division
The language family is as follows:
- Kaingáng
- Xokleng
- São Paulo Kaingáng (†)
- Ingain (†)
- Guayana (†)
Genetic relations
The Jê family forms the core of the Macro-Jê family. Kaufman, Murno-Gladst, et al. (1990) find the proposal convincing.
