The Macro-Jê families according to Kaufman

The Trans–São Francisco languages[1] (Portuguese: Transanfranciscano) are a proposed grouping of languages within Macro-Jê. They consist of the Krenák, Maxakalían, and possibly also the Kamakã families. The Trans–São Francisco group was originally proposed and demonstrated by Nikulin and Silva (2020) under the name of Maxakalí-Krenák.[2]

They are named after the São Francisco River of Northeast Brazil.[1]
