Katembri (Catrimbi [sic], Kariri de Mirandela, Mirandela) is an extinct Indigenous language of Bahia, northeastern Brazil. It is known only from about 100 words collected in the early 1960s from João Manoel Domingo, an elderly rememberer who only knew a few words in the language. Kaufman (1990) has linked it with the nearly extinct Taruma, although this has not been accepted by other scholars.[1] Its vocabulary is composed of primarily Kariri words with a number of vocabulary items coming from an unidentified language.[2]
Katembri was spoken at the mission of Saco dos Morcegos, now known as Mirandela, Bahia.[3]
Other languages with this name
Xukuru-Kariri is a variety of Xokó,[dubious – discuss] which may be a Kariri language. The name Kiriri is shared by Dzubukuá, another Kariri language, and by Xukuru.
