Wakoná language
Wakoná (Aconã) is an extinct and unattested, presumed language of eastern Brazil, formerly spoken by the Tingui-Botó, also called the Aconã. The dispersed ethnic population numbered an estimated 500 to 1,000 in 1995. The population now uses Portuguese and Dzubukuá, also called Kariri-Xocó.
Geographical distribution
Wakoná was originally spoken around Lagoa Comprida and in Penedo. Loukotka (1968) reported that the remaining ethnic descendants who speak only Portuguese could be found in the city of Porto Real do Colégio. They lived near Palmeira dos Índios according to Meader (1978).
