Harákmbut–Katukinan is a proposal linking the South American indigenous language families Harákmbut and Katukinan. There is reasonably good evidence that the two are related.[1] Jolkesky (2011) also adds Arawan to the family.[2]

Family division

Jolkesky (2011) concludes Arawan is closer to Harákmbut than to Katukinan.[2]

Internal branching of the Arawá-Katukína-Harakmbet family according to Jolkesky (2011):[2]

Katukína

Arawá

Harakmbet

Language contact

Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with Arawakan languages due to contact.[3]
