Purian languages are a pair of extinct languages of eastern Brazil:
- Puri
- Coroado Puri (also known as Colorado)
Coropó (Koropó), once spoken in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, was added by Campbell (1997), but removed again by Ramirez et al. (2015).[1]
Purian is part of the Macro-Jê proposal. However, when Coropó is removed, there are not sufficient lexical connections to maintain this classification.[2]
