Amanayé is classified as Extinct by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

Amanayé (Amanaje) is a possibly extinct Tupi language last spoken in the town of São Domingos on the Capim River in Pará State, Brazil.[1][2] The closely related but possibly distinct language is Ararandewara, which is spoken at the headwaters of the Moju River (Lang 1914). It is unknown whether the Amanayé continue to speak the language or not.[3]
