Katembri–Taruma is a language family proposed by Kaufman (1990)[1] that links two extinct or critically endangered languages of South America:

  • Katembri–Taruma
    • Katembrí, a.k.a. Mirandela of Bahia State, Brazil[2]
    • Taruma, a.k.a. Taruamá of Brazil and Guyana

The proposal is not repeated in Campbell (2012).[3]
