%0 Journal Article %T A note on the Maco [wpc] (Piaroan) language of the lower Ventuari, Venezuela %A Harald Hammarstr£¿m %J Cadernos de Etnoling¨¹¨ªstica : Estudos de Ling¨¹¨ªstica Sul-Americana %D 2011 %I Cadernos de Etnolinguistica %X The present paper seeks to clarify the position of the Maco [wpc] language of the lower Ventuari, Venezuela, since there has been some uncertainty in the literature on this matter. Maco-Ventuari, not to be confused with other languages with a similar name, is so far poorly documented, but the present paper shows that it is nevertheless possible to show that it is a dialect of Piaroa or a language closely related to Piaroa. %K Maco [wpc] language %K genetic classification %K historical linguistics %U http://www.etnolinguistica.org/issue:vol3n1
