Tarairiú AKA Caratiú is an extinct and very poorly known language of eastern Brazil. The Tarairiu nation was divided into several tribes: the Jandoino Kanindé Paiaku (Pajacú Bajacú) Jenipapo Jenipabuçu Javó Kamaçu Tukuriju Arariu and Xukuru / Xacó.The language is attested only through a few word lists. A few words resemble those of neighboring Kariri (and other Macro-Je) and Xukuru languages but not enough to support a genealogical connection.
