Flecheiro is the presumed language of the uncontacted peoples in the Javari region of the Amazon.
Classification
[edit]Ethnographically, the people are similar to the Kanamari. However, a meeting between a Kanamarí and the Flecheiros was observed, showing that the two have different languages. Their language is thus unknown and therefore unattested.[1] Similarities in arrow design with another "uncontacted" tribe contacted by the Kanamari, the Tsohom Djapa or Toucan People suggest that the Flecheiros may be related to or the same people as them.[2]
