Wayumara is an extinct and poorly attested Cariban language. Kaufman (2007) placed it in his Makiritare branch as a close relative of Ye'kuana,[1][2] but his classification is outdated.[3] Glottolog groups the language in the Guianan Carib branch, following Girard (1971),[4] in a subgroup with Ye'kuana.[5]
