Vilela (Uakambalelté Atalalá Chulupí~Chunupí) is an extinct language last spoken in the Resistencia area of Argentina and in the eastern Chaco near the Paraguayan border. Dialects were Ocol Chinipi Sinipi; only Ocol survives. The people call themselves Waqha-umbaβelte ‘Waqha speakers’. The remaining Vilela people are being absorbed into the surrounding Toba people and Spanish-speaking townsfolk.
