Torá (Toraz) is an extinct Chapacuran language that was once spoken along the lower stretches of the Marmelos River in Brazil. It is known only from a wordlist recorded by Curt Nimuendajú and published in 1925.[3] The last fluent speaker is believed to died in the 2000s. In 2006, there were two fluent speakers left, but it only has semi-speakers as of 2018, "at least few".[2]
