Central Jê languages

The Akuwẽ: 12–4  or Central Jê: 547  languages are a branch of the Jê languages constituted by two extant languages (Xavánte and Akwẽ-Xerénte) and two extinct or dormant, scarcely attested languages (Xakriabá and Acroá). Together with the Goyaz Jê languages, they form the Cerrado branch of the Jê family.
