Teteté is an extinct Tucanoan language that was spoken in Ecuador close to the Ecuador-Colombia border. It was also formerly spoken in Colombia, but is now extinct in both countries. It was spoken by the indigenous Tetete people, who did not survive the twentieth century.[2][3]
Tetete is close to the Secoya language.
