The Hup language (also called Hupdë Hupdá Hupdé Hupdá Makú Jupdá Macú Makú-Hupdá Macú De Hupda and Jupde) is one of the four Nadahup languages. It is spoken by the Hupda and Yohup indigenous Amazonian peoples who live in Brazil and Colombia. There are at least three main dialects of Hupdë of which Yohup (Yuhupde Yahup) is so distinct that native speakers report limited mutual intelligibility. Hupdë is considered an inferior language by the neighbouring peoples of the Hupda.
