Arutani (Orotani Urutani also known as Awake Auake Auaqué Aoaqui Oewaku ethnonym Uruak) is a nearly extinct language spoken by only 17 individuals in Roraima Brazil and two others in the Karum River area of Bolivar State Venezuela. It is one of the most poorly attested extant languages in South America and may be a language isolate. There is however no linguistic data on the language. Ethnic Arutani also speak Ninam.
